Howdy!
I wanted to share some of my favorite resources.

Movie Wavs has movie/tv/sound effects for download.
http://www.moviewavs.com/
If you don't have QuickTime Pro to download the wavs, click the link posted to the direct source, and use your browsers file>save-as function to download the clip.

KeepVid - tool to download youtube vids for reference.
http://keepvid.com/
Use the URL for the video(direct link to the video) from the info box on youtube.

Character Animation Studio class blog (Jeff Cooperman's class)
http://animationaac.blogspot.com/
Lots of good posts, links, and critiques of work your classmates have done. Lots of posts full of inspiration and technique.

Animation Tricks-
http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~matt/courses/cs563/talks/anim_tricks.html
A fairly quick read, and a lot of stating the obvious. Still a good reminder in manageable doses. Frustrated? Open this up and read a bit. Helpful reminders to get your head back in it.

That's about it for now. Enjoy!
