Parodies
A parody was featured in National Lampoon magazine, and reprinted in the National Lampoon The Book of Books in 1977. In this version of the story, Babar (acting on the advice of American "advisers") violently suppresses a strike by the monkeys working in the kingdom's mines. It ends with Babar and Celeste strung up on meathooks.
A fourth-season episode of the stop-motion animated series Robot Chicken parodies Babar, depicting the human citizens of the kingdom rising up in a revolution. The sketch ends with Babar being executed via guillotine.

Famous quotes containing the word parodies:
“The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
