The easiest way to present animations on Web pages is probably animated
GIF files.  Convert the images to GIF format (XV, ImageMagick, GIMP)
then stick 'em together with one of the many encoders (I use the ancient
but reliable "whirlgif")

MPGs are another way to go, but not as universally supported by
browsers.  You can encode from JPG files (I use the equally ancient
"mpeg_encode").

Java animation is neat, but can fall heavily.  The worst that can happen
with animated GIFs or MPGs is that they just don't display properly.
