Answer by Timothy E
Animal Logic (Happy Feet) used both Maya and XSI. Dreamworks (Madagascar) has their own proprietary software.

Yes, you can animate with just one (Maya, XSI, Max, even the free one, Blender). But you will probably at least need a compositor and/or editing software when you put it all together in post production.
