I want to share with you one of the animation of my childhood. The Nutcracker is a sensitive and beautiful animation which I suggest you to watch.
The Nutcracker (Russian: Щелкунчик, transcribed as Schelkunchik) is a 1973 Soviet animated film from the Soyuzmultfilm studio directed by Boris Stepantsev and based partly on Pyotr Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker, but more closely on E.T.A. Hoffmann's novelette The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, the story which inspired the ballet.

Ah Alex - you beat me to it! When I was walking home after the workshop, thinking about all the different stories, I kept thinking of The Nutcracker in relation to yours! I suppose its the combination of ballet and the wooden soldier/nutcracker...great minds think alike, as they say!!
I agree with Phil, though, that the first idea is the stronger of the two - as he said in the lecture the other day, all our ideas are built on the foundation of what has gone before, so really there is no escape.And after all, the idea of unrequited or forbidden love is eternal...
PS The second part of the animation is not there for some reason. :(
Ok, now it IS there!!
"all our ideas are built on the foundation of what has gone before" - golden words. It is true - everything is built on our experience. Thank you for the kind post.
Evening Alex,
From Fantasia 2000 - the steadfast tin soldier animated to music composed by Shostakovich...

Just watched the Fantasia clip - wonderful music, and thank god - a happy ending!! :)
You could have a happy ending.... how about if the characters are dreaming of being together on the desert island, and then one of them gets taken and wrapped up in bubblewrap and tape...the other character is sad because they are losing their love...then the happy ending comes when the second character is also wrapped up and put in the same box - and they are shipped off to somewhere hot and sunny !! A happy ending :)
Not enough of those in the world, I think...
