Pixar developed their own software for animation: renderman.
Today, they just released a free non-commercial version for anyone to use.
From the website:
RENDERMAN
RenderMan is now free for all non-commercial purposes, including evaluations, education, research, and personal projects. The non-commercial version of RenderMan is fully functional without watermark or limitation. For further details please refer to Pixar's Non-Commercial RenderMan FAQ.

They also set up a community page with tutorials, a forum and examples of other people's work.
