I rarely see the deeper meanings that people claim are in these stories . . . I highly doubt many are put there deliberately. However, I do find it interesting what meanings people find. In the first instance, it is an interesting commentary on the way their minds work, but also, it is fascinating how ideas and new lines if thinking can be generated from truly unrelated material (which, in my opinion, is usually a good thing as long as you don't claim those ideas were put there by some sort of conspiracy).

On one extreme, the Lorax clearly has an environmental message, and you'd be hard pressed to find an adult to read it and disagree with that. On the other extreme, the sheer variety of suggestions about what Alice in Wonderland is "really" about suggests that the vast bulk of them are quite wrong.
