Hey Brett, I would recommend these courses:
https://cgcookie.com/course/fundamentals-of-animation
https://cgcookie.com/course/fundamentals-of-rigging
https://cgcookie.com/course/animation-workflow-body-mechanics
https://cgcookie.com/course/animation-bootcamp
https://cgcookie.com/course/demystifying-lip-sync-animation
I think with all those courses you should have more than enough to build animations within Blender. I placed them in order of what to watch first. Wayne Dixon created these courses and they quite frankly some of the best animation courses you’ll find.
