What story is a example of allegory?
Any number of Disney's animated films or others made by Dreamwork's and other production companies where animals or robots or even toys are depicted in a way is a figurative parallel to human behavior. For example, The Lion King, which tells a tale of young lion cub who is forced to grow into adulthood early because of circumstances that force him to deal with in an adult way. Disney has touted this film as being the first animated film that Disney has made that is not based on a story by someone else and claim it is an original story. Perhaps the writers and producers and studio executives have never seen or heard of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, but The Lion King is remarkably similar to Hamlet where Simba parallels Hamlet, the evil Uncle Scar parallels Caudius and Simbas mother, of course, parallels Hamlet's mother. The only striking difference between these two stories is in Hamlet practically everybody dies but not so in the Lion King,, and Simba lives happily ever after with Hamlet's parallel of Ophelia.
