Good animation software for a non programer

[nitro28]

I want to learn to make some cartoons, animation etc.. just for fun. I am not a computer programmer, so I need a program that is somewhat easy to figure out. Yes, I have messed around with stick figure animator. I am looking for something more advanced. Is there a program you suggest?

KoolMoves is a fun little tool i found...produces SWF's but allows creation of "bones" and allows for more powerful Flash style tweening

Blender for free. Hash Animation:Master for $300. Maya for $$$$

if you can work in 3D, DXStudio will accept 3D models from other programs.

also, Flux Studio, from mediamachines.com.

KoolMoves is pretty sweet. I downloaded the demo. Easy to get into.
