I get inspired every time I see a good animation. Doesn't matter what application or software was used, or if it was hand drawn or stop motion. If it's good, I immediately think about how it was produced, and how I could do something similar. I know many animators try not to look at other animations for inspiration, but this is what gets my creative juices flowing. Sure, things in real life are inspiring too, but mostly other people's works, when done well, get me excited about the craft.
