Anne Francis was the original space babe !

FORBIDDEN PLANET is an iconic science fiction masterpiece. Great story. Great acting. Great visual and practical effects.

Such an amazing movie for 1956. I still love watching it!

A classic film that has never been matched in my opinion! Thank you for sharing!

Remarkable. Forbidden Planet is one of my all time favorites. As famous as it is, I think it is still under appreciated. This video is proof that the genius that animated that film was way ahead of its time. Hollywood still has not caught up.

Growing up in the 50s, with all the crappy special effects in the various space movies, Forbidden Planet was a staggering film. The C-57D flying through space in the opening scene still stands the test of time.

This movie was way ahead of its time with Special Effects for 1956 we would have to wait till 1968 2001 A Space Odyssey to beat it !

watched the full movie the other night and spent the whole time expecting Leslie Neilson to say something funny, great movie though

One of the best Sci fi movies ever made 🙂

It’s been over 50 years since I’ve seen the original film on a Saturday afternoon matinee and I’m still in love with all of it, especially the eerie sound effects, the matte paintings, the Disney animation and Robbie the Robot. Time to rewatch it once again. ❣️

Anyone that ever watched Star Trek knows how much Gene Roddenberry loved "Forbidden Planet". "Star Trek" was obviously "Forbidden Planet" the series!

Leslie Nielsen before he did comedy.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

The Soundtrack was mind blowing...

I was taken to see the Forbidden Planet when it first came out. I was 6 at the time, it made a great impression on me. Its still one of my favourites.

One of the best Sci fi movies ever made😃

This film together with Metropolis and Things to Come are probably the 3 best Sci Fi films of the early to mid 20th century. They were realistically acted and believable for their time.

Robbie the Robot was on display at San Francisco's Metreon Theatre Complex in the mid 90s. I was so surprised to come down a staircase and be greeted by - an old friend! He still looked good but of course there was no getting near him. I was surprised at my own emotional reaction....hmmmm

All these scenes ARE on the DVD "deleated scenes". By-the-way, an animating artist from Walt Disney was on "lone" to do the shots in the Krell underground. Favorite movie of mine. At the time Robbie was the most expensive prop ever made,$250,000.

Stunning footage; the music is hypnotic!

the canons were designs that looked like they could really be real .. they had independent moving firing tips ..it had lead shielding to protect the gunners and controls that would be user friendly

This movie will always be a classic! I'm still amazed they managed to pull this off in the '50s... It wasn't dumbed down either... Other than maybe the cook who made moonshine bits, lol...

One of the best movies of all time. So far ahead of its time. I have my own copy (with the 'missing' stuff and all), and watch it whenever the muse strikes. The one piece of 'missing' footage I mourn the most is near the end. They're locked in the lab. The captain has convinced Morbius the Monster is his own Id given form. When the creature breaks through the door, Morbius charges the Monster. It picks him up, like it did the crewman, and dashes him to the floor. I saw this on an early TV airing, many years ago. Later, 'censors' felt that scene was too violent and refused to allow it to air again unless the scene was removed. It was cut, alright... from the original... and destroyed. There are no 'copies' remaining to reconstruct it from. It explains why Morbius is suddenly on the ground dying. Damned shame it's gone. Thanks for the Forbidden Planet love.

A fav, timeless classic

If you look at the time period between 1950 and 1960, there were several seminal and groundbreaking films that set the tone for sci fi for all time. From The Thing From Another World, When Worlds Collide, War of the Worlds, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, This Island Earth, Them !, The Incredible Shrinking Man, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and so many others. Given the time period and the available special effects, there was some fantastic work done by the preeminent masters of the time, such as Willis O'Brien, Ray Harryhausen and Eji Tsuburaya in Japan. In fact I forgot to add the original Japanese cut of Gojira, the one without Raymond Burr in it, which was made in 1954. These movies started the ball rolling towards what we see today as almost commonplace effects. Without them, there would no Star Wars or Marvel Avenger movies.

Thanks for using the Barron's original Electronic Tonalities for this. It really enhanced the video and gave me the feeling of watching the movie again.

Orbiting the planet, what a great effect.

Anne Francis makes this movie. The unused shots of the ship orbiting the planet are still exceptional and should be put back into the movie, for the love of.... Why they were not used? The single deft effect could lend the whole film a moment of credibility.

It wasn't lost, but due to copyright it was forbidden to use!

Absolutely incredible! Even today this movie still holds up. A true classic!

Space Family Robinson comic book had similar looking tubes which a villain used to create duplicates of Tim Robinson this was after Forbidden planet but before both Lost in space and Star Trek. Robby the robot also showed up on Lost in Space but called a Robotoid instead. The same guy that designed Robby designed Lost in Spaces robot although looks much different.

My favorite movie for many decades.

Forbidden planet from 1956 MGM productions well made science fiction motion picture it is the great granddaddy of science fiction movies and will set the standards and blueprints of science fiction movies to come based on William Shakespeare The tempest

An invisible monster with unlimited power? I hate when that happens!

Thanks for bring back some great memories.

i got to see this movie in the mid 1980s in a theater that aired classic movies. One of the best sci-fi movies ever. Great story line and fantastic effects for the 1950s.

Watch this with the lights off and sound turned up the effects are so amazing and creepy

I always love the special effects. In the 70s I had a chance to see the same footprint effect done with wet concrete for and invisible Man TV show. In that case, they put the footprints beneath the wet cement, all of it under pinned by a single long board that was pulled out a step at a time, and the wet cement dutifully filled the space in the shape of a foot. Very cool to see it in person and then a few months later watch it on TV. Very cool indeed. Peace,

The Forbidden Planet special effects are arguably the best relative to the technology at the time. They set the standard and hold up well today. Great story. Great cast. Top marks all around.

By sheer coincidence, I watched the movie again last night after remeniscing about it with a friend. That makes it the only movie I've watched three times (okay, beside a couple of Christmas favorites). Loved it as an 11 year-old kid, still love it; great sound track, great visuals. Huge thanks for this lost footage.

Truly love the sound effects!!!🎶🎹🎵Play On😁

Interesting great shots, the coolest movie indeed, It still holds fascination today!

The Krell monster freaked my out, although you never see it. It's as big and as terrifying as your imagination. The sound effects amplified it immeasurably!

I saw Forbidden Planet back in 1977 on CBS "The Late Show" and was blown away even then. It was my favorite until I saw "Tron" in 1982.

One of the best Sci-Fi has ever created, bar none!

Excellent film, ahead of it's time in many regards...

My first favorite movie and I still love it!

The scene you stated that inspired Star Trek wasn't "Star Trek" but Irwin Allen's Lost in Space. The "awesome" Jupiter 2 interior was greatly reminiscent of this scene with the freezing tubes and the Navigator or "Astrogator" (being very similar) - also Robbie the Robot inspired the show to make the B9 robot in lost in space (in fact created by same people) and Robbie even appeared in some episodes.

Insane it did not win an academy award for best sound!

This is still a great film

I remember seeing this movie when I was a little boy I loved it I love these Electronics sounds even now it was the Star Wars of its time

The 1950s and early 1960s were IMOH the Gold Age of sci-fi movies. The F/X was nothing like what we have today, but still decent; it was the script/story that made them classics. Forbidden Planet is among the others such as The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Thing (the original), War of the Worlds, When Worlds Collide, Them, The Blob, Conquest of Space. etc.

Wonderful seeing this stuff! Who would have thought that the dashing commander (Leslie Neilson) would go on to become a great comedian?

This is one very Classic Sci Fi Movie. The special effects that were made were way ahead of its time being in 1956. I still watch this movie every time it is shown on TV which is on my 50 inch HD Display. This movie never gets old. thanks for the video. Take care.

Its one of those classics that still even today draws you in with interest at what lies in the ID. To see all the extras a joy to see the creative spirits and extras that made this a very special film in a lot of ways. Especially liked the 44 inch ship passing over the planet and the planets star scapes too. Scared me proper as a kid, and still has that unearthly feeling today, thanks for posting these.

Interesting as a bit of film history. Having the sound track is the best part. Like electronic indigestion at times.

Wouldn't have been just magnificent to have been in a theater when this was first released? Who could have imagined how mind blowing it was going to be!

Love the music..

The film was way ahead of its time. The star field with planet still looks amazing.

Still my favourite film ever in any genre.

Timeless movie.! 👍

And all made for an inflation adjusted $22m. Yet it's far better than films cost nearly 10 times as much.

Still a classic. Dig those Electronic Tonalities!

"Influenced Star Trek?" After Roddenberry got ripped off for his "Wagon Train To The Stars" idea he had to come up with a new idea pronto! I worked Star Trek cons in the early 70's. The Film Room showings of FP were often mistaken by the Trekkies as a lost Trek episode.

One of the greatest movies I've ever seen , Thank you !

We saw the release at the GarMar theatre on Whittier blvd and Garfield drive. Took a trolly car to see it. Cost a dime for car fare and 2 dollars for the loges seats. Popcorn was 5¢

STILL my favourite Sci Fi ....

Robbie has always been, and will always be my homie

The music and sound effects were way ahead of their time. Forbidden Planet still induces wonder and awe because of the music and sound. Modern Sci Fi films are pedestrian by comparison.

This really is an exceptional movie. A friend (whom i now dont remember, but was very intelligent- he even redesigned patented devices to make them more efficient. Introduced me to the movie.) The immense size of the krell machine is what captivated me. According to Walter pigeon it was 20 miles end to end. I love to draw machines. I can only imagine how long it would take to draw only the outside...

The planet first couple planet shots looks kind of like Pluto.

….I remember seeing this move as a kid at our local movie theater. I absolutely loved Robby The Robot, still do. He still showed up from time to time on tv like on Twilight Zone and Lost In Space, but it t wasn’t the same. Glad to hear Robby is still around….

Thanks for posting.

As short as it is, it's worth watching ! They were good back then , really good !

the rapid cuts and eerie music make this feel like analog horror

This movie along with it's predecessor 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' began the Sci-fi craze leading up to Star Trek and Star Wars type movies and Tv series.

Roddenberry should have pitched his original The Cage pilot as a Forbidden Plant for TV rather that a Wagon Train to the Stars. This could well be an episode of Star Trek TOS with almost no changes other than the actors and characters' names.

So brilliant. We are the ones flying saucers. Thank you channel 32 Chicago for letting me see this masterpiece for the first time. Sunday sci-fi marathon. Also saw the Time Machine that day. There was another movie, but I forget Edit: I remember now, it was THX 1138. How could I forget??

Great stuff! Thank you!!

With all due respect to "Robby The Robot Channel", I have a DVD copy of "The Forbidden Planet" that I had purchased over 15 years ago that had a bonus feature. It contained all of this so-called lost footage which is I believe available on most DVD copies of this film...............

What an amazing achievement in special effects. I wait to possibly be corrected, but didn’t MGM turn to Disney to provide the ID monster and laser effects etc? The lack of a conventional musical soundtrack to be replaced with electronic music was inspired. I always wonder what would have happened if MGM had continued the crew’s adventures? Would it have progressed to multiple movies or a tv series? ❤️

The movie will be showing at Harkins Tempe Marketplace Cinema on 11-2-21 Tues. at 7:00 PM. Tuesday Night Classics are only $5.00 bucks! I'll be there in my current human form.

20 miles...............20 miles.............

Great sound effects !! 🤖

I love this movie. Is there an upscale version available? Watching Forbidden Planet in HD would be truly something special.

Worth seeing !!!🎥🎞🎬😝✌️🚀🚀🥁🥁✨✨💫

03:53 now that is so unique. we now know there are planets that might look like THAT. wow

My absolute favorite Sci-Fi movie of all time; Shakespeare did the script. I've read the short story, watched the movie many times.

Duuuuuuuuuuuude that was Beautiful Thank You what a treat

Great stuff. I have always wondered why deceleration gave everyone a pain in the neck. Guess the beams were not so efficient😂

That music still creeps me out.

Thank you, this is historic footage

Classic film. The colours and the music was amazing. Yes a wonderful film which is still appropriated today. Just like the original Time Machine film.

I just now under stood the animated part! From looking at this!

What a rear treasure thank you very very much for sharing it, this movie is a classic I hope they never remake it. But really I'm surprised they haven't already.

Thank you it takes me back to when I first sour this movie.

In those shots where the gun beams have been added yet - I can just imagine Adams saying, don't worry crew , our blaster weapons will drive it back and then....... For God's sake who forgot to put the weapons in their chargers last night. Run everyone run.

I would say that the special effects 1st influenced Lost in Space with the freezing tubes and the clear dome navigation equipment with a small version of the ship inside the equipment. Not to mention the influence of Roby and the B-9 Robot of LIS.

How well I remember it! As a (well!) underage kid, I was supposed not to be able to see it. My folks didn't agree with my sci-fi interests. Still, the older brother of a friend was a projectionist at the local theater, and he kindly arranged for us to get in via a side door - free! I had my revenge, tho. Later I worked at NASA/Ames on solar wind data from various probes!

This movie puts a lot of more modern movies to shame.
