How do I make animated videos?!?

Question by thepieh0le: How do I make animated videos?!?
Hey there!

While I was spending my time on YouTube I came across a lot of brilliant animated videos.
So now I’m wondering: How do you actually make them?!
If someone could advice me a program or any tricks that would be great! Oh, by the way: I would appreciate if there’s a program it would be freeware…. after all I’m making my AMVs with the crappy Windows Movie Maker….
Here are examples what I mean when I’m talking about animated video( I don’t know how they are actually called…):

Jah, there are still some rules:
1. Don’t post things like: ‘Uhmm, dunno…’ the best way to tell me that you don’t know is not posting at all….
2. Please refrain from offensive posts, just answer when you really want to help me! I think there are other ways to waste your time ( and my time)
Thanks a lot for your understanding!

Thank you very much for reading so far and it would be great if someone could help me.

Have a nice day
