Is there a script (or any possible way) to make preset token animations?

There have been times where in my head, I imagine these scenes where a token does some complex movement like flying around a room or something and then realize that to do them, I would have to move the token to each "frame" of the animation manually, which is a whole load of work I don't feel like doing. So is there a way to set up preset animations for tokens? Two examples come to mind, one where a corporate contact or something of the like is holding a folder and then he frisbee throws it towards the players across a table, so it would be spinning through the air and then land somewhere. Another would be  santa's sleigh crashing through a nearby window, flying around the room, then landing on the ground  (long story) . Maybe it could even be used with a carrying token script for some theoretically massive boss whose limbs are each their own token, and he could have an animation where he slams a fist down onto a player. Can someone tell me if that is at all possible with API scripts or am I deranged.
I haven't used it myself, but the Patrols script might be able to do what you're looking for.

Hi Thyvenom! Yes there are scripts that should do that. Here are a couple to look into TokenController Token Patrol BTW, the wiki has a good list of user scripts , many of which are not in the repository.

i use Waypoint Patrols script and it is excellent for marching/walking/flying tokens moving around the map. Less useful for something like a Boss Monster's arms (to me that would be a GIF animation perhaps). Currently not certain if !WP (waypoint patrol API) equates to the "Token Patrol" linked above, or which improves upon it.

Thanks, Gold! I had vaguely remembered Waypoint, but didn't see an entry in the list I linked. I don't use any of these, so can't vouch for one over another.
