Do you have any existing experience with animation? I'm totally for novices of any experience collaborating, learning, practicing, so don't take this as dismissal! But if you don't actually know how to animate, you might want to hold off on organizing a group of animators until you've started your program and have a better understanding of what animating will actually be like.
Otherwise, what knowledge/skill are you bringing to the table that is specific to animation?
^Again, not meant as dismissive, it's a lovely idea, but for people who might want to join in and work with you, they should have some idea what you are actually offering in a more substantive way.
