I took my course at the Internatioanl Academy of Design in Toronto Canada I know there is a few Academy od design schools in the US also. Its was pretty good they teach all the aspects of animation and post production you would learn all the basics than its pretty much up to you to get good at what areas intrests you the most. I was worth it for me I love 3D animation Aaand MAYA. I was also a teachers assistant for a bit after I graduated.
