2016 - Year 2 of Bachelor! Animation Short Ideas and thoughts

We have been split up into groups and need to create a 30-40 second animation.
Some points to consider and remember:
-Animation should end with some sort of resolution
-What is the reason the character is animated
-Relationship between the two characters
-What is the story about?
-What is happening to them, why is this happening?
-Dramatic genre mashup

My ideas so far:
-A man in love with an animated woman in a mirror
-A person finds a magical object
-An animated dog at a pet store has special abilities
-A person is given a special pair of glasses that can see things others can't.

Elaborating on the ideas:

Man in love with woman in mirror

  • Man sits down in front of the mirror every meal time and pretends to eat with the woman, there could be an earth quake that makes the mirror topple over and smash on the ground.
  • Possible plot twist, maybe only he was able to see this woman, the mirror could have just been a normal mirror and he imagined this woman there. He might have been in love with himself, or he was lonely, or he had issues.
  • Woman could be mother or wife that passed away, the man misses her so much he sees her in this mirror.
  • Mirror could be an old mirror this woman used to own, and it's covered in bits of jewelry, or some photos. Maybe the mirror is un-decorated and when it smashes on the ground he discovers a hidden letter addressed to himself or a photo of them both together when they were happy.
  • Environment/house could be really dull and dark, how he feels about his life before he joins himself/the "woman" in the mirror, he turns on a lamp and everything is warm. He feels miserable having a life without this woman.
