It's like photoshop - hard(ish) to learn properly, but once you do, it's a piece of piss
I think photoshop and GIMP do it.

best bit of advice I can give is learn how to use flash
for animations as the animation part of photoshop can be a right pain in the arse.

Nah it's well easy
It usually only takes Disney about 12 minutes to knock up a feature film; the rest of the time is spent waiting for Elton John to stop dicking around and write a song for it.

Blender is a free 3d software tool that I think can do animations
