How Can I Learn More About 3D Animation?

Question

I'm trying to learn more, without having to take a course that will put me in debt...

Can someone please list books, online sites, and anything else that can help me learn to create, or simply get a better understanding of 3D Animation?

And do you still need to be a good artist for computer Animation? Does the computer do most of the work?

Thanks For Answering...
