Movie making

I just got back from a 4-month trip around Australia, and i took alot of footage and would want to make a movie. I'm just not sure what program to use???? i have windows movie maker but from past experience ive learnt that its not the best for long movies! I would like to include music and some type of animation type thing too, what should i use! i have windows 8, any suggestions?? Thanks! :)
