We have a requirement from a client who needs to animate the character in the screen below

Sample Image URL

The page itself is constructed using SVG and the character can be broken down to specific parts that can be animated.

The question here is which is the most effective approach to take to achieve this.
I know this is closer towards an opinion based question, but I do not have a starting point to implement this functionality.

Sample Animation GIF

What I have tried:

I have done some research and found that this can be achieved using

1. SVG animation using libraries like GreenSock
2. Using GIF images
3. Using a transparent video

If your character is SVG too, then you have a few options:

The <animate> tag[^], to describe your animations directly in the SVG.
JavaScript libraries such as Bonsai[^] or Snap.svg[^] or SVG.js[^] or .
CSS animations[^] that you can apply to the whole, or parts of the, SVG.
