So yeah wondering if there are any good VTTs that support animated battle maps and maps with multiple levels? Would like something that could do like a scrolling background to simulate movement for something like a cart chase or a moving train or airship or something like that. Not looking to do anything complex just a scrolling road map that you can overlay carts on the top of and character tokens on the carts
Also any VTTs that support multi level maps? Nothing more annoying than having to move tokens over to a completely different map or area of the same map just because they went up a floor, especially if it is a battle that takes place over multiple floors.
There are (free) modules which support both sliding map background and multiple levels in a map for the Foundry VTT.
For multi-level maps, I just use the Stairways module which will teleport their token to a different part of the scene when they go up/down stairs (rather than using the "Levels" module to put multiply floors directly above/below each other.
I would suggest you look at Arkenforge - https://arkenforge.com/ - it has everything you want, including the ability to add animations, dynamic lighting, and lots of modules and add-ons that you can get for it too.

Foundry does everthing you ask for and beyond. Plus total integration with DnDBeyond.
talespire does multilayer very well, but no animated backgrounds
