I'm working on a project where I might have a need to animate some
static images. I'd like some 2D software that can perform the
animations without a big learning curve. The results I'm after are as
follows:

What your asking for is extremely difficult to answer, and depends on a lot of factors mostly of a 'look' or a 'feel' your looking for. The keywords that you used where "2d" and "animations".. Which makes me think of Adobe Macromedia Flash right off the bat. I'll provide a few links, but you'll have to research these to help you..

The other part would be Adobe After Effects, which is capable of doing just about anything you need.

p.s. Keep in mind, all these products are professional, and users sometimes spend a lifetime to master some of these.. Just an FYI.
