Change
GameObject.GetComponent ().Play ();
to
GetComponent<Animation>().Play ();
or
gameObject.GetComponent<Animation>().Play ();
If you write GameObject with a capital "C", you refer to the Type "GameObject", but you want to refer to a specific instance of it (as the error messagetells you). Hence, write gameObject, with a "g". However, you don't need to write it in this case since writing GetComponent without anything before it automatically lets teh program know you want mean the GameObject this script is attached to.
$$anonymous$$y pleasure. However, This particular error is not related to the new Unity version. It might be possible that Unity converted the code in your script automatically to conform with Unity5's new syntax rules (no more "animation" ins$$anonymous$$d of "GetComponent(), for example), and out came the line of code you posted.

I my case used for example: private GameObject maleCharacter;
maleCharacter = GameObject.Find("MainMaleCharacter");
Animator animationObj = maleCharacter.GetComponentInChildren<Animator>();
animationObj.SetTime (1);
animationObj.Play("Back_Stab_Grab_Down_Finish_01_001");
