Re: Animated Sprites from the internet
You can either find an already animated GIF or you will need to find an image for each piece of the animation (or take screen shots of each piece of the animation to create a separate image for each).
To import many sprites at once, open your folder containing all the images (or one animated gif).
Open Scratch, create a sprite to import the images (you can draw a scrible)
Make sure you are on the scripts tab, not the costumes tab.
Drag the image(s) from your folder into the scripts panel. Scratch will not react for a few seconds, depending on the size/number of your image(s)
All images will be imported as costumes separately.
Then, you will need to create scripts using the "next costume" block to animate your costumes to change.

I am assuming you want file conversion, right? Find a image converter, like GIMP.(At least it say so on the GIMP website, and GIMP is free)

To "export" a sprite to open in Photoshop, GIMP, or Flash, you can right+click (Ctrl+click on Mac) on the sprites costume and select export. Here is a project that illustrates how to do this:

Re: Animated Sprites from the internet
These are two different questions: How do I import an animated GIF (which many are calling an animated sprite)? and Why isn't my imported animated GIF still animated once it is in Scratch?
An animated GIF is a special image format that stores a sequence of images and some proprietary code describing how long they should each be displayed for and in what sequence.
When you import an animated GIF into Scratch all of the images are copied as costumes, but you lose the GIF code. So if you want the imported images to be animated you'll have to add your own Scratch code. Maybe like this:
When Flag pressed
Forever
wait .03 seconds
next costume
End of Forever
