* LifeAffirmingAesop: In ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Black Knight]]'', the big lesson imparted in the game is the idea of living life to the fullest without clinging to the past. [[spoiler:BigBad Merlina, having learned that Camelot is destined to fall, enacts a plan to regain Excalibur's scabbard and plunge the legendary kingdom an unchanging stasis. Sonic, knowing that everything has an end, refuses to allow Merlina to perform this plan and ultimately defeats her before convincing her to enjoy Camelot while it lasts. The game's ending theme, "Live Life", further pushes this Aesop]].
