Animation on 1306 based on readings from MPU6050 accel

Hey everybody!
Wanted to create face animations based on readings from accelerometer (mpu6050) but I got lost.

Is it even possible on arduino nano? (clone but seems to be compatible with everything)
I found that tutorial by Volos, I'm curious if that method of animating by bitmaps is suitable for what I want to do.
You know, for example "if accel is > then it shows that animation, with smooth transition,

brake hard = scared animation for example.

Main question - is it even possible? If yes do you have any articles or snippets of codes that combine these two functions?

Or even adding touch button to be able to pat it on the head = different animation aswell

I suppose nano isnt suitable for it since it has 32kb flash and 2kb ram, maybe esp32 is a better option here?

Yes. The flash actually isn't the problem, the RAM is. The standard library for the 1306 needs half of the RAM for the screen buffer, so you have to take extreme care to stay within limits. As the ESP32 has much more memory, it's probably the easier option if you get the rest working.
