On iPhone, anime video comes from two kinds of app: those with templates and a guided flow, and general generators where you write the style into the prompt. A character that stays the same from clip to clip is still the hard part, so keep episodes short and reuse one reference image.

Can I turn my photo into an anime video?
Yes, with a generator that accepts a photo, by describing the style. Results vary, and we ran no test.
Can I use characters from a series?
Characters from existing series are usually protected, and apps may block them. Make your own.
Disclosure: we make Dora, number 3 on this list. Everything about the other apps comes from their own App Store pages.
