    Blender is very popular and is free!

    Otherwise top-end ones are Autodesk Maya & 3dsMax.

    What sort of animations?

    You can do 2d animation in Photoshop, Flash or After Effects quite simply. On the 3d side Maya is the standard for broadcast/film animation but costs $5000. Blender is a popular open source free version and is really very good.

    A good 3D animation software package I have came across in recent months is Muvizu (pronounced "moviezoo") http://www.muvizu.com
    It appears to be gathering a really good following since it was featured on BBC Click last week http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/8885276.stm (about 2mins 20secs in)
    It is pretty easy to learn and you can get pretty impressive results.
    The only downfall I can find so far is that alot of people on the forums are having problems running it if they don't have a good graphics card plus the download can take sometime but it is really worth it in the end :)
    Free stuff is GOOD stuff :p
