Best Answer

Windows Movie Maker can import .gif animation files as well as these other picture files:

.bmp, .dib, .emf, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, .wmf


It might not look as though your .gif animation is working when you first import it into Windows Movie Maker though, because the animation has to be drawn out along the time-line. When you first import it, the file is in a 'condensed-frame' format.

Stretch the imported .gif animation on the Time-line, then press Play in the Preview window. You will see the animation in action.
