You might be interested in GTK+, QT and especially OpenGL to create an animation program in C/C++. But that wouldn't generally be a miniproject ;-)
I would also suggest using Qt and OpenGL. Depending on what it is you want in the animation, it will not be a miniproject, but I guess that would also depend on the typical size of projects you've worked on thus far.
However, SDL is better for what you're doing because it's designed primarily to provide things like keyboard handling, image reading, etc, while Qt is designed primarily as a GUI toolkit. Qt will do all those things, but SDL puts them front and center.
