There's a lot of interesting things you could do if you could use animated gifs.

HTML5 Canvas can not process animated GIFs. It literally doesn't know what to do with the file type.

Not only that, but content would be a jerk to find. Finding top-down drawings of people is hard enough... much less several of them in rapid succession.

It would be pretty neat if this worked out someday, but with the HTML5 limitation Kristin mentioned, we'll just have to wait for some major tech update elsewhere. That said, I don't think it would be that hard to find animated gifs, you can just find them in advance and save them in a folder for your game ready to drag and drop.

Animated Gifs are actually very easy to make with Adobe Illustrator. If you have that program.

Are APNGs possible? That would make all sorts of speical effects possible.
