That is the more difficult part, you need your dinosaur moving with some body movement, otherwise looks poor. Needs to be on a transparent background. You can create a single layer, duplicate it, move duplicate a tiny bit, Layer -> Transform -> Offset is useful for this, do some 'dino editing. Then repeat the process building up the animation. You might find a pre-made animation and adapt it, make sure you convert to RGB before any editing.
Adding the background is the easy part. Script / plugin to merge a base layer with each layer above. Ofnuts has a plugin ofn-interleave-layers.py or there is a script-fu here: http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/repo...combine-bg
