Okay, it's been quite a while since the pilot chapter was completed in terms of the animations, but I was waiting on an answer as to whether I would have assistance to add voices to the more than 10 characters. Apparently, as of now, I do not have said assistance, and so I have decided that it would be better to just release the animations and add voices later if the remainder of the project has a set of voices.
The project has turned out very well, though I think it goes kind of slow in the "Eden" section, because of the massive amount of Fox talking (it would be a better parody of Al Gore if it had a voice).
While watching this, viewers should remember that this is the story of creation through the eyes of extremist liberals and catastrophist environmentalists. Therefore, the contents are skewed to that point of view, making the depictions of characters very poignant in the second half. However, the project also depicts true events at many points, contrasting and satirizing what is being written in the book itself. Watch this with the knowledge that I am a very conservative person depicting a liberal point-of-view. There are multiple lenses. Do not take this short disclaimer to mean that I am ashamed of my position though. I just feel that it adds to the humor of the project if this information is added (because there are a few instances where the only joke is the contradiction between the image and what is being said). I am exceedingly proud of the project, and I hope to be able to complete future chapters, most of which are now in pre-production. Enjoy.

PS: I thought I might want to add a Cast List to this, in case the quotations that introduce each character do not have the right amount of salience. It is in order of appearance.
The Snake - Symbol of Reason and Progress (Totally evil... right, Mr. Gore?)
Fox - Al Gore
Birds - The Media ("Mainstream" and otherwise)
Sheep - The American (Animalican) Public
Snail - George W. Bush
Skunk - Dick Cheney
Cats - Republicans (Republicats)
Orange Cat - Newt Gingrich
Dogs - Democrats (Dogicrats)
Bunny ("Waskally Wabbit") - Bill Clinton
Pig - Rosie O'Donnell (or... as herself)
Worm - Nancy Pelosi (pretty sure most Democrats would agree)
Weasel - Hillary Clinton
Squirrels - "Civil Rights" Leaders
Squirrel Sharptooth (Light Squirrel) - Al Sharpton
Black Squirrel - Jesse Jackson
I guess now you know why I didn't do voices for this just yet... ~SP
