How many operas with anthropomorphic animals are there? There is Janá?ek’s 1924 The Cunning Little Vixen, Joanna Lee’s 2010 Krazy Kat, based on George Herriman’s newspaper comic strip (and Lee’s 2010 cantata The Chronicles of Archy, based on Don Marquis’ newspaper poems about the world-traveling cockroach), and Tobias Picker’s unlistenable 1998 The Fantastic Mr. Fox, based on Roald Dahl’s children’s novel. http://anthrozine.com/site/lbry/yarf.reviews.u.html Are there any others?
