How to make warped text move along a path in Ae?

Hello, I have a few words that I have warped to form a word cloud shape (basically a few words that make the shape of an animal) in Ps. I would like to animate these text layers in Ae so that they move along a path. I have tried to make the path and then wrap the text in Ae, but it comes out distorted and weird-looking.

Is there any way to do this to a text that has been warped? Sorry if this is confusing, but it's hard to explain. Thank you!

You may want to highlight the text layer and go to the top of the interface and select/Layer/Create/Covert to editable text and see if you have better results.

My layers are rasterized, so Ae won't let me convert them into editable text.

If you want the entire shape to animate I would suggest Puppet Pin.

When you get the animal shape animated then pre-compose Attach a null, then animate the position of the null or draw a vector path with a shape layer or mask, copy it, then paste it to the position property of the null. Now your animated animal will follow the3 path.

A screenshot would really help us help you...
