I am so glad that every attempt to remake this film has fallen apart. It doesn't need it..

This was the work of Disney animator Joshua Meador. He had created visual effects in Disney productions such as “Snow White,” “Pinocchio,” “Fantasia,” “Bambi,” “Dumbo” and “Cinderella” but it was his work on "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" that got the attention of MGM and led them to contact Disney to borrow Meador for Forbidden Planet. Besides the Rotoscope effects Meador also created the matte paintings inside the Krell power plant. Forbidden Planet directly inspired Gene Roddenbery to create "Star Trek" and inspired much of the look and feel of effects in Star Wars.

June 2024 - One of the greatest Sci-Fi movies ever made. Today's Sci-Fi movie directors speak highly of this groundbreaking classic film.

65 years and it's still in my top 10.

Forbidden planet was the star wars of it's day.

"Don't call me Shirley".

Whenever I see the scene in which the tiger is burned away by the energy weapon, I cringe at the thought of what smell would linger in the air afterwards.

Rotoscoping is an animation technique that animators use to trace over motion picture footage, frame by frame, to produce realistic action. Originally, animators projected photographed live-action movie images onto a glass panel and traced over the image. This however, is special effects animation. No less impressive.

I rate Forbidden Planet as my #1 Top Pick in sci fi movies. The best science fiction movie ever made.

Quite simply one of the best sci fi movies ever still rocks today.

For my money the absolute best science fiction movie ever made, visuals, acting, plot and electronic tonalities. Not to mention Robby the greatest robot ever.

It was a telling clue that Robbie could not attack the monster. Well done.

A landmark film, intelligent,with great special effects(for the 50s)and a good cast one of my favorites 💎 Auckland New Zealand 2024

I have watched this movie more times than I can remember. We are nearly the same age. A favourite of mine and I still watch it

J’étais très très jeune la première fois que j’ai vu ce film et je peux vous dire qu’il mets rester longtemps dans la tête, et le cri de la bête aussi

This movie and I are the same age. The scene with the ID Monster scared the s**t out of 7 year old me...

A Total Classic Movie! No one who has ever watched it will ever forget it!!!

It's the very best sci-fi film ever!!!

As a child I loved this movie along with the original War of the Worlds and Silent Running

I am amazed at the special effects for a film made in 1956,I am sure going to watch this movie.
