I want to play small (95x95 pixel) videos/GIFs on my TFT LCD from a SD card. My board is a Mega2560. I do not have ANY code, and can't find any on how to do this. Is it even possible?

What makes you think it would be? 
I'm sorry, I did not know that.

I don't have any idea, hence the reason I asked. If I knew if I could, I would ask HOW, not "can I?".
I take that as a no, it can not be done?
I know it can be done on a Uno, and a Nano but I'm not sure about a Mega.

Fetching data from SD (slow) and transferring that data to the display (middling), there would be a lot of frame flicker.
I have no benchmarks, but just alternate two BMPs and see.

Oh, well if it can be done on a UNO, then clearly it can be done on a Mega.
@Paul_B
Hopefully, yes. Will it work the same? Will it work on other screens than the one above? What about screens that AREN'T SPI? Will it work with other screen libraries? Mine is a very strange controller, so I have to use a different and custom edited library - it's a ILI9488, and touch is XPT2046.
Will it work if the SD card part of the screen is different to that one in the example?
@Paul_B
That's my weird screen:

I'd get a SPI screen similar to the one in the example, only I can't afford one.
