Why the Animosity towards the Pharisees when in Acts 5 verses 34-36 Gamaliel a Pharisee defended Peter a follower of Jesus from the Sanhedrin?
Not all the Pharisees were against Jesus and the Christians. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and member of the Sannhedrin in Jesus' time. Gamaliel also was evidently a reasonable person although most of the Pharisees rejected Jesus, His message and person. Thus it is clear that the writers of The Bible accounts took into account the specific reactions of individuals to Christ and the Christian message. They were thus not prejudiced but based their judgment on specific information, although it is true it seems that by far the majority were hostile to Christ.

Was Paul a Pharisee a Sanhedrin or both?
Saul of Tarsus, later renamed Paul, was a member of the Pharisees, one of three groups almost akin to political parties in the USA. The Sanhedrin were a council of 71 leaders, including the high priest. The council was made up of both Pharisees and Saducees, and probably some Essenes; these form the three groups mentioned above. Acts 23:6 has Paul, arrested and on trial before the Sanhedrin, admitting that he is a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee. The Bible doesn't explicitly say that he had been a member of the Sanhedrin, although his familiarity with the council shown in the same passage, along with the term "Brothers" used in 23:1-6, may imply that he had been a member.
