I''m trying to recreate an TBS game using DirectDraw, and I was wondering if there is any kind of industry-standard file format for storing character/object animation sequences?

No.

Just about every game and piece of graphics software has it''s own proprietary format. Annoying but the honest truth.

TGA, BMP, DDS and AVI all seem to be popular.
