I took the fundamentals of animation last year which focused on traditional animation and I learned A LOT. I went in class with no idea how to animate a thing and came out with a new passion for animation and skill. It's a lot of work though.

IF you want to focus on 3D animation, try Ringling College of Art and Design. They're #1 in digital animation and their program is hard to get into. They accept about 10% of applicants? Their students also went off to Dreamworks, Disney and other major studios. They have a record of alumni that won the Student Academy awards for best student animated short.

Other animation schools that are widely known is also CalArts (the Disney animation school) and Sheridan College in Canada. There's also SCAD, but I'm not sure how good their program is.
