Maybe you should think a little more about what you want right now, based on your current skill level.If its a good animation program, you probably won't have time to work with other people outside of the program itself. You don't currently have the skills or knowledge (as far as I can determine) to actually lead people in an animation project pre-starting the program.
If you want to get together with novice animators and, you know, learn, chat, etc, you can certainly do that. And the idea of forming a studio is a good one. But you know how everyone has ideas about how to make a good app? If you don't know how to make an app, it's maybe too soon to try and start an app designing company. ;D
Don't feel discouraged, just maybe focus on something more realistic for right now.
