Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but...

Character Animator is fun, but it's only really useful for head and shoulders shots.

Puppeting the hands with your mouse is awkward.

It's good for ed-tech stuff for kids and maybe for a fun demo or live-stream, but I can't imagine why you'd want to learn it if your goal is working in TV/film.

No.

I actually have very little experience with animation software, but recently used CA for a project where we designed a bunch of characters then rigged them up in CA.

In the end, we found full-body animation so awkward that we just did a lot of three-quarters and close-up/head and shoulders stuff.

That being said, I don't think CA is meant to be full-fledged animation software. It's really facial animation software like CrazyTalk.
