Reddit mentions of Should We Burn Babar?: Essays on Children's Literature and the Power of Stories

I think there's a plausible theory that says the Aliens franchise is in fact built on the Babar children's books. Notice that:

• Herbert Kohl, in "Should we Burn Babar" argues that Babar is essentially an argument for French neo-colonialism. The Alien franchise can be interpreted as extended argument against inter-planetary colonization
  
  
• Adam Gopnik, in his New Yorker article, Freeing the Elephants makes the point that "while it is a very good thing to be an elephant, still, the life of an elephant is dangerous, wild, and painful. It is therefore a safer thing to be an elephant in a house near a park." Is it a coincidence that the Aliens (most directly in Cameron's interpretation) seek the comfort of the LV-426 mining colony?
  
  
• In Episode 59 of Babar, the animated series, Arthur convinces the family that aliens are invading the planet. Does this foreshadow the inter-species conflict between space jockeys and xenomorphs as the Prometheus trailer suggest?
