By reducing the amount of colours, possibly.

Click Window/Optimise (if it's not showing already) and fiddle with the colour and dither settings, then choose "save optimised"

Didn't realise it was animated, anyway, the only way to get it below 15k was to resize it slightly and reduce the colours down to less than 14, it's not brilliant but it's the best you'll get it.

And I'm going to pretend that it wasn't a picture of you know who.
