where to start?

Im just trying to get started with 3d animation.This will be the same old question but which program would be best to start with.I learn very quick and im use to quite a few art progs.

I was wondering ,flash,fireworks,photoshop,????? or please tell me what other programs i can do this sort of thing below with,


as you can tell by my sig at bottom my own attempts are pretty basic,cheers

I'd say the best program to start from is 3d studio max because u can use it even when ur an expert. If u arent familiar with 3d studio max and ur are familiar with adobe photoshop or any other adobe programs then you should get the newest version of adobe illustrator (they now have a built in 3d animation function.).

cheers i dont have either of those so i will get them and try them out,many thanks for that,
