So if you just want videos, you can create a YouTube channel and put a QR code in paper book and ebook. Then point phone or tablet at it. The QR code is only an image, so can also be a link, and ought to have a caption with a link, then when you read the ebook on a phone or tablet instead of paper or ink, you tap the caption or the image. Some apps zoom image, hence best to have a caption too. Anyway, a QR code should ALWAYS have an honest caption.
Yabbut, snookums, didn't the OP say that they wanted actual animation? Driven by the software? I realize, yes, of course, can't be done and I admire you for your research, but I suspect that's the sticky wicket.
