Of the free CGI/Video Animation programs listed on Pg. 1, what would you guys reccomend and why?
Blender all the way. That program is super easy to use once you sit down for about an hour figuring out what does what. I use it all the time now, even for 2d effects. Blender even has composite nodes, which help out alot.

I am a recent Blender convertee  and let me give my heartiest recomendation to any one who is considering what 3D app to choose and who has limited resources. I tried Blender back in '05 and hated it. It was version 2.36 I believe and I got so frustrated with all of the keys you had to memorize and the amount of work it took to make anything. I decided to instead buy Electric Image Universe 3D toolkit version. It is a very good program for 100 dollars and it ships with tons of tutorials, the problem is, outside of dvgarage, who sells it, there is little support for it and they cut out IK rigging and absolutely slaughtered the particle program. So I decided to give Blender another try(version2.44), I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was now much easier to use and the features were incredible!! Here is a still from a tidal wave I animated in Blender  It isnt perfect but to me(at least) it looks cool  . (rendering time by the way on this frame was 6 hours roughly) It was incredibly easy to IK rig a character and there is lots of support for it and easy tutorials to follow. Especially on youtube.
I would definently advise anyone who is just getting into this stuff to give Blender a try, you wont be disappointed. :thumbs:

Looking at the first post in this thread I'm wondering if there's any free programs for editing that have been developed since then. It doesn't need to be fancy, just free.

Just finished a HTML tutorial for creating a lightsaber glow in Blender using the composite nodes. I made the tutorial so that anyone can use it, even if you have never opened Blender before. So here is the link. Blender Tutorial. Thanks

for those who wants to look at my "lightsabers and more" tutorial, be sure to be quick about it. The webpage it's hosted on will be offline from December 1st, as I'm starting up aurellia. With video tutorials, I will not need the old page.
