iPhone simple 'cartoon' animation

I'm working with a bunch of guys who are really flash animators (but they are very nice people and do good work) and talking about how to do some simple cartoon style animations for an iOS app. This would be minimal animation, hit a button and have a character do something which takes 1-2 seconds and ends back in a new static image.

One option would be to use a UIImageView with a series of images, or, if I want finer control, a timer to switch images in and out of a custom subclass of UIImageView.

If the animation is really 'cut scene' I could use an MPMoviePlayerController and display one (and one only) animation.

I had a hunt around the docs to see if there were any other technologies which looked applicable, didn't see any. OpenGLES would be all wrong for this. Have I basically got the right technologies here or is there something I'm overlooking? _______________________________________________
