Woot, okay, animations are awesome I give you that ^^, one of the best points you brought up i'd say, plus, i'm guessing because of the animation gifs are avaliable ^^
Greatness comes once every lifetime, as the nice lord bj proves this, nobody can be great more than once in their lifetime, he had his day, his birth was great. It caused awesomeness to die, and programmers to shudder. For a day that is...

? Not in the engine, no. They're laid out on spritesheets (so you open a .png and see all frames laid out like you would any other spritesheet).
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

I highly doubt you could even USE a GIF file for animations...
But yeah like everyone has said, all 2D games with animations use either sprite sheet, or just make another image for each part of the animation.

GIF files are for the web really...
There's no place like ~/
