Nice style and good story telling, better than a lot of stuff that appears on newgrounds from someone as young as yourself.
Well done.

OMG Elva is so cute :D!!! but maybe try to give them color to their beaks, i was really confused at first,
but i could never acomplish a video animation, so you know your stuff, and please work on the backrounds a tiny bit
Very easy to offend human race once again...
But just think: freindship, love, compassion, selflessness, justice, mercy - these are all HUMANS' inventions. It is very easy to just discard our species, because of all the things we've made wrong and almost every thinking teenager does it. But hence you are a thinking teenager, just think - what would be left without us? Who, in your opinion, would pass all the values our culture gained throught ages? Animals? No. Those all values would be gone. And without human race ever coming to existance - non existant. We created everything you love. We created the world of principles that are so great, that almost everyone desires them to be present in their life.
Then why did we fail? The answer is simple: we gained the power to change the world, BUT we are still too ANIMALISTIC to use it. Instincts, the main cause of egocentrism and thoughtlessness, are the ones which combined with almost godlike powers - are responsible for this sad condition of our planet. Not lack of emotions - but emotions, especially those weakend we don't even know we have. They still influence our behavior - and they influence our greed, our cravings for power, resources, etc., etc. Emotions in their basic aspects are EGOCENTRIC. And that what happened with us and our planet is caused by LACK of cultural development, not too developed culture. TOO MANY uncontrolable acts drvien by emotions and TOO LESS actions driven by thinking and values.
I give this film 4, because it has a very good animation, nice voices and still it was made by 15-16 year old girl - that is just 'wow'! I don't like the message though - and I think the massage was the main reason you made this movie. Keep it up! Both in movie-making and in thinking, espceially when mature life hits you with all its power.
I love furries =D

Ok joke's over !
Very good for a start. I like your storytelling abilities and it's got a lot of promise. The art is interesting, while it could do with a little work, I do find it quite charming and unusual. The animals in a apocalyptic world is an interesting concept; it's not been done that many times before, and it's interesting to see what is going to happen.
Perhaps work on the animation of the animals a little more; it's the little movements that make them believable as characters. For instance, when Zale ran past Elva, wouldn't Elva simply turn her head around, being an owl, rather than turn full circle? You can actually find a lot of help online these days; animated gifs work well for you to work off so you can see how a fox runs or an owl moves in certain situations. If you manage to get this down, your characters will have a lot more believability.
Good job though, and for all your time constraints and other factors, you've done well here. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
