Really? Hm. But when you talk about a character's "sprite", then you're generally talking about the animation(s) completely, aren't you? Like, for example, you'd say "hey check out that sprite running across the screen", not "hey check out that animation made up of multiple sprites running across the screen".
I'm relatively new to this though, so I could be wrong. That's just how I understood it.

Hmm... that definitely makes sense too. I guess Previous is right - there really isn't one all-inclusive definition for the word.
