Is it possible to get blender to find the missing blender files like it finds missing image files so that i can preserve the previously made animation?

Yes, totally. Go to "File" -> "External Data" -> "Find missing files" you can navigate to specific folders if you know where you put your files. as blender searches sub-directories you can even say: "hey blender, my file is somewhere in here, just look for yourself" on your documents folder.

On a side note is there a way to also view a list of all the missing files?

yes. there is. "File" -> "External Data" -> "Report missing files" prints all missing files to the console (in the default layout you can all down the menu on the top to see the console's content.)
