Story idea for Animation

My main idea is to have a hefty sack who is hungry.
His Goal is to find food.
This is the story I used for my storyboards.

He rubs his belly and walks swervy and acts as he is going to faint.
Meanwhile passing objects a block and a seesaw which will be important later.
He looks left and looks right then He smells something. He follow his nose an runs into a pedestal. On the pedestal there is muffins. He tries to get them by jumping but he falls. He pounds on the pedestal out of dessperation and the he is sad and looks like he might give up, then remebers the block he passed earlier. He runs back tries to use the block. He takes the block and toss it on the seesaw to catapult him up on the pedestal.
He gets his muffin.

It might be interesting to see the muffins shake and move as he is hitting the pedestal. You could make them look like they are almost going to fall but just don't.You might want to simplify the story a little bit more because it might be hard to do all of that in 30 seconds. Besides this though its a great idea and I look forward to seeing it in action.

The only thing I'm concerned about is the length of the animation. Also, you should be concerned about making sure that people notice the seesaw and the block the first time around so they don't think that it came out of nowhere.

I think a close up of the muffins that go into a zoom out on the sack would be a good screen shot.
Really shake the pesdistal and also be careful about the way the block/seesaw works, gravity and physics can be tricky.
