Character ideas

I have been thinking about the brief and looking at some potential 3d characters that i would like to animate.

I want my character to be cute, and to achieve a goal, so that when or if the character is trying to achieve something and he fails the audience can feel for the character as its cute and appealing.

My intentions are to animate an inanimate object and give it life and personality, or animate an animal so i can give it expression and emotion.

I have been looking at a few ideas for inanimate objects like mushrooms



i also thought about a 3d octopus, as their mouth's are not really visible and i can make a 3d character and give it personality using just facial expressions
