On ubunt, I can convert animated .gif files to .webp format using imagemagick's convert 1.gif 1.webp, but then the animation is lost in the destination .web.
I'm wondering how to preserver the animation while transfoming the format?

ImageMagick doesn't have the ability to convert animated GIF to WebP. For this you should consider Google's gif2webp.
Google support page for gif2webp: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/gif2webp
A quick search shows that gif2webp is part of the "webp" package for Ubuntu and has .deb packages available here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=webp under section "Exact hits"
To install on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install webp
Basic command line usage:
gif2webp input.gif -o output.webp
