Animation and me! Need info please!

I want to make a animated short film and I am in between computers at the moment as I cannot run Indesign or Flash professional on this computer. I am in the process of getting the tutorials foe illustrator right now and have CS5 master copy. What else would I need or would help in making a animated digital film?

I use QuickTime Pro it works great with CS5

Thank you much sir, I am far from skilled enough to put one together right now but wanted to know if there is another route I could have went besides Flash professional. It seems like every tutorial is somehow linked with flash!
