if youve got plenty of time on your hands, just mess around with animation, I use flash myself, but I hear toon boom is just as good if not better :) trial and error is the best way to learn

Pivot... 6th grade memories are coming back lol

Flash is a pretty good program for animation and I heard that After Effects is also a great program.
The people at my internship use After Effects when they make an animation for promotional videos.

It's pretty professional, especially because it's the exact same animation technique as Pivot but with autokeying.

If you're looking for 3D animation, Blender is always free and awesome. It may be daunting at first, but anyone can learn it with the amount of tutorials online.

Toon boom is what I have always used.
Even done a Pokemon cartoon on my other channel!

Flash and toon boom are the standard when making short animation for the web.
