    The top 3d animation programs are Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds MAX, Softimage XSI, and a couple others like Maxon Cinema4D and Lightwave.

    99.9% of hollywood movies use the software mentioned here.

    A VERY GOOD and open source alternative to these is Blender 3D. It is truly something amazing. Try it out ;)

    I agree, blender was created by a professional studio to use for themselves, and they open-sourced it - so it's certainly professional quality, and I know of more than one studio (although animation isn't their main focus) that uses blender competitively against these other products in the industry.

    best of luck!
