Graphic Design into Animation?

I just finished submitting college applications and I’m having second thoughts. I mostly applied for graphic arts majors with the intention of getting a masters in animation after. It’s my dream to work at Dreamworks, Pixar, or BlueSky, and I have contacts at each. Is a degree in graphic design worth it if I want to be doing animation eventually? Do the two go well together?

Help! (and thanks in advance)
