Can I map a 2d pre-rendered animation to a 3d object?

Hello–I’m brand new to Unreal, coming from an animation background, and have been watching all the tutorials I can get my hands on, but was wondering if anybody could point me in the correct direction. I’m trying to make a character that is like a wooden doll with hand painted facial animation.

Its head could just be a sphere with a wood material, then was wondering if I could attach a pre-rendered video with an alpha channel or some typed of masked image sequence of a hand-painted moving mouth to that head.

Thanks for the help!

Yes you can. Your options are using sprites with a Flipbook function

or using a Movie Texture
