The digital age of animation, particularly in the mainstream media most likely started in 1982 with the production of tron. However this film was an unfortunate flop, most likely because it was at least 20 years ahead of the time. Despite the failure of this film it lead to more and more companies using this method for the years after.
Then in 1986, John Lasseter co founded pixar with Steve jobs and went on to create Luxo Jr. This short showed the potential of 3D computer animation and at the time was groundbreaking.
Though 3D CG animation had quite an early start, it would not be picked up in the mainstream media for another 10 years.
