Animation is (or can be) different than programming, does he want to do animations with programming? If so maybe Javascript if he wants to make web based games or something.
For jumping in, better to pick something that's interesting and engaging rather than a specific language. My kid wants to learn Java because he likes Minecraft for example.
Scratch is also a cool tool to learn the basics of programming without having to learn a language.
