@Cybrionowich
Here is a script that will play an animation VIA the animator (more info below)

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MyClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Camera camera;

    private Animator animator;
    
    void Start ()
    {
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
    }

    void OnMouseDown()
    {
        if (camera && animator && Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
        {
            Vector3 mousePos = camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
            Debug.Log("Mosuse is located at Vector3(" + mousePos.x + ", " + mousePos.y + ", " + mousePos.z + ")");

            animator.SetTrigger("MyTrigger"); // this requires you to have previously created a trigger in the animator
        }
    }
}

Once you have created your animation (which going by your question I assume that you have) you need to set up the Animator (you can no longer play animation clips in Unity 5, this will lead to problems). To set up a trigger see my answer here.
