The free open source software for 3D animation is Blender, and a free-licensed film called Elephants Dream was created to showcase its abilities. It is a really good program and can compete with Maya/Studio 3D Max. At first you'll find the interface a bit strange but it's actually very powerful when you're once used to it.
