I have some things pertaining to his Oxford visit, including photos, but 
none are "animated." Here's a partial list I prepared for someone, cut and 
pasted into this message:

original real photo “postcards” of Twain at Oxford (4 different images) at 
the ceremony on June 26
Liverpool menu July 10 where he gave famous Begum of Bengal speech
Twain’s copy of Dana’s TWO YEARS BEFORE THE MAST, inscr in 1876, the book 
from which he got the best phrase in his Begum of Bengal speech
James T Fields ALS re his and Annie Fields visit to Hartford in 1876 where 
Annie noted Twain was reading Dana
Soc of Pilgrims menu June 25 inscr by a fellow who sat at the table adjacent 
to Twain’s table
Savage Club menu June 26
Mills photo of Twain, signed by Twain, presented to Savage Club members, in 
original frame
Choice Humorous Works, inscr by Twain to his host at Oxford in Aug 1879
5-6 misc 1907 magazines reporting on his Oxford trip
Oxford U Press silk keepsake printed in Twain’s presence, possibly unique, 
no copy in OUP archives
Christian Science, inscr at a dinner on June 28, same day as his visit to 
OUP
Jumping Frog, 1903 1st sep. ed, inscr while on board ship returning from 
Oxford, July 1907
Obiter Dicta, by August Birrell, inscr to Twain by Birrell at Savoy dinner, 
June 21, where Birrell introduced Twain to speak
archive of glass plate negatives of Twain with Francis Nunnally while in Eng 
for degree July 9
scrapbook kept by fellow student of Nunnally, with two photos of Twain at 
his last public appearance (the famous speech where he said don't smoke more 
than one cigar at a time, or marry more than one man at a time)
Lynd Ward painting of Twain at Oxford ceremony (1962, used in Ward’s book 
abt Twain)
Jack Warner’s research photo archive for the 1944 movie Adventures of Mark 
Twain, which includes some Oxford images
Convocation at Oxford. June 26 (the official program, bound in blue cloth)
Autograph ms by Twain, a sort of press release, re Livy, stating he would 
not marry again, which he gave to press from Brown’s Hotel, in July
menu on board ship that took him to Oxford, signed, June 17
program on board ship that took him to Oxford, signed, June 15 (Twain read 
from his autobiography)
original photo of Twain with P Richards, on board ship to Oxford
photos (3) of Twain and Dorothy Quick, on board ship on return trip in July

If you arrange them in chronological order they probably give a pretty good 
idea of his itinerary for that trip.

If anyone has this, it would be Kevin.
Kevin, what say you?

The British Trade Journal dated Oct. 1, 1907
(vol. 45)  lists various "animated photographs"
that have been "placed on the market" by
Gaumont Co. 5 and 6, including "a portrait
of Mark Twain."
