When you listen to the intro the narrator says, "In the late 21st century man landed on the moon in rocket ships". Amazing that this was made in the early 50's and that getting to the moon seemed like a feat that would take over 150 years to accomplish, where in reality it would happen in the next 20 years.
The Moon AND the other planets. Actually, we're behind schedule, as we've wasted half a century since Apollo. Someone better hurry up on that quantum gravity hyperdrive!
If he would have just given them the landing coordinates, then they could have made a feature length movie out of this. It would have been good. It may have even won an Oscar.
Actually, all the Krell knowledge wasn’t lost. The crew took Robbie with them. Also, Robbie would’ve had some Krell knowledge (since he was a replication of their technology and certainly understood how he himself worked). I always wondered what became of him (and Altaira) after the crew returned to Earth. 🤔
Hillarious! This is one of my favorite science fiction movies. The cast was full of actors that would eventually become famous and the special effects while exploring the Krell machine are fabulous. I think I may have to crank up the VCR and watch the "long" version. Thanks!
Morbius: I will not supply landing coordinates. Navigator: Without coordinates we can't land. What'll we do, Skipper? Skipper: I say we lift off and nuke the whole planet from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Navigator: Nuke the planet? Surely you don't mean that? Skipper: I do indeed mean that, Mister! And don't call me Shirley!
Very Funny ! some movies would be greatly improved being five mins long.On the other hand a masterpiece Like Forbidden Planet could easily be stretched to five hours, going into the back story of Morbius landing and the Krell's civilization and its ultimate fall and demise.
LOL --- I did somehow expect it to be a tad longer. :-) When I was in 10th grade, in Central NY, my HS Biology Class went on a very-long Field Trip to the NYC Museum of Natural History, some 200 miles away. Back then, in early 1960s', there were Old Movies on after the 11 PM News, By the time my father picked me up at the end of day, it was near 11:30 pm. My father was a farmer, so had to get up around 4 am, so he immediately went to bed. My mother had fallen asleep on the dining room couch, while waiting for us, All the younger kids were already in bed, TV was in the dining room. I was still wired from the trip. "Forbidden Planet" happened to be the late movie that night (in 1963). I got almost half way into it, when my mother woke up and sent me to bed! Some 12 years later, TV stations would show "B" movies, and Sci-Fi and Monster movies on Saturday afternoons. So it happened that, one Saturday afternoon the local TV station chose to show "Forbidden Planet"! After 12+ years I finally got to see the Whole Thing! In the 1980's I bought it on VHS. Eventually got it on DVD. Imagine, taking 12 years to see the Entirety of a Movie! :-)
If it took a year to get to Altair then they were going pretty slow @16.6 times the speed of light .. Humans would still take generations to get to distant star systems
Excellent ! It could be the same accoording to ALIEN (1978). Parker say : "Hey yound fellows, it is a commercial ship not a rescue ship... so we have continue our come back trip to earth". The End. This is it.
I had to replay that last 30 seconds to make sure I didn't miss the impetuous retort made by Walter Pidgeon..."NO!" And I was going to blame it on the "Id"...
When you say in the theater back in 1956 with a CinemaScope screen and that stereophonic sound you knew when the credits started up you were gonna be in for a freaky ride
There is one thing they got wrong is they said humans developed hyperspace drive that can far surpass the speed of light yet Altair is less than 17 light years away and the were traveling for a year .. That's not too fast
Funny! When I first saw the movie as an adult, I wondered "why did he give him landing coordinates if he didn't want him to land there?" You have answered that question. Thank you!
Altair is less than 17 light years away but it took them a year to get there .. That's not too fast .. They need to improve their FTL technology if they want to get to more star systems in a reasonable time frame
Morbius and his ship seemed to get on the planet without landing coordinates. And what ship worth its salt needs landing coordinates in the 23rd century?
Suspension of Disbelief...i think is what Hollywood writers call it...of course if Morbius really didn't want them to land then he would have never given them the co-ordinates to do so...but then again his ID Monster was in need of more avenging... after all it had been 20 years...fun stuff...thanks for the parody ....well done....
I get it- "Okay, we don't land...let's get on to our next assignment." It WOULD look like a dull film {"Look, why just can't we keep it that way?", Dore Schary of MGM might have wondered. "We'd save a fortune on special effects! Just squeeze it between the next 'Tom & Jerry' release, nobody's interested, anyway."}. I've often wondered what might have happened if "Klaatu" from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" had simply decided to bypass our planet instead of LANDING on it...and blew it up anyway!
Sorry, I forgot: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (what a classic!!), with Richard Dreyfuss character returning to earth young and healthy. One of my nephew he is 15 yo, thinks the aliens ate Dreyfuss when they took him to their mothership. He thinks the movie was cool but old, Oh! dear the generation gap is finally affecting me. P.S.: What about Jaws 7th: ¨bigger, faster, stronger...MEANER!! and now in proficient 3D¨. I miss so much Spielbergs style movie directing and J.Williams encores.
Wow! By the writer's best guess, we would go to the moon "at the end of the 21st century"!! Little did they know they would go to the moon only 13 years after this movie was made...
On a double bill with the short version of HAMLET: Rosencrantz: "Hey Hamlet! Your uncle is now king and married your mother!" Hamlet: "So what, I'm in college here at Wittenberg Toga! Toga!"

13 years, actually.
The Moon AND the other planets. Actually, we're behind schedule, as we've wasted half a century since Apollo. Someone better hurry up on that quantum gravity hyperdrive!
I think it was the part about "men and women in rocket ships," i.e. passenger service to the moon and beyond.
when this got played at SF conventions usually some bright spark in the audience would chirp up: "Two weeks later the hyperdrive was invented!"
And then nothing happened for 50 years.
If he would have just given them the landing coordinates, then they could have made a feature length movie out of this. It would have been good. It may have even won an Oscar.

I think I'm ready to work myself up to the 10 minute version of Forbidden Planet now.
Hillarious! This is one of my favorite science fiction movies. The cast was full of actors that would eventually become famous and the special effects while exploring the Krell machine are fabulous. I think I may have to crank up the VCR and watch the "long" version. Thanks!

This is life in a nutshell. You work all the way to the edge of your life's pursuit and once you're there, some idiot won't let you in.
The trick: Don't ask permission!
Or as C.M. Lemoine says, "Make them tell you 'no!'"
The story I could tell...will tell, once I'm dead.
Very Funny ! some movies would be greatly improved being five mins long.On the other hand a masterpiece Like Forbidden Planet could easily be stretched to five hours, going into the back story of Morbius landing and the Krell's civilization and its ultimate fall and demise.
If more Hollywood movies were like this , I might just go see a movie.
“ Will 60 Gallons be sufficient ? "
where is the KA BOOM? there should be an Earth shattering KA BOOM!?
John E McCormick But this is back in the fifties. There was always sound in space back in the fiftes! lol
@@whitelion44: Star Trek and Star Wars both have sound in outer space. "Alien," too, as I recall.
That would have been worth my movie ticket back then in 1956.
LOL --- I did somehow expect it to be a tad longer. :-)

Morbius was right. About everything. Those Space Force stooges barged in and the whole planet got wiped off the map.
Synopsis: Planetary Cruiser Arrives., Planetary Cruiser Departs, Planet Disintegrates, Lost Civilisation Lost Completely.
Very funny; I didn't know what you had planned with 90 seconds to go and you caught me totally by surprise. Well done!
The invisible monster got on their spaceship before turning around. Oops, they left that detail out.
II thought the video would have ended with the cruiser exploding in orbit after Morbius's angry "no!"
That soundtrack! Wonderful!
If it took a year to get to Altair then they were going pretty slow @16.6 times the speed of light .. Humans would still take generations to get to distant star systems
Half of the people listed on the cast we didn't even get to see or they didn't get to speak a line.
I had no idea where that was going. I’m literally crying I’m laughing so hard. Hilarious! 😂 Well done.
So it really is a forbidden planet. Haha
1701 ? , The hull registry of the Starship Enterprise. Hmmm.???.
That was silly but I should have seen it coming ... I was wondering how you were going to get the whole story in with so little time left
"My beams are focused on your blasters, gentlemen!"
Good lesson.... and Morbius would still be alive
Hope they didn't have fish for dinner and don't call me Shirley lmao 🤣
Guess he told the captain to get screwed
Excellent !
It could be the same accoording to ALIEN (1978). Parker say : "Hey yound fellows, it is a commercial ship not a rescue ship... so we have continue our come back trip to earth".
The End.
This is it.
I had to replay that last 30 seconds to make sure I didn't miss the impetuous retort made by Walter Pidgeon..."NO!" And I was going to blame it on the "Id"...
Forbidden Planet is a movie just crying out for a prequel.
When you say in the theater back in 1956 with a CinemaScope screen and that stereophonic sound you knew when the credits started up you were gonna be in for a freaky ride
I wasn't even in the planning stage 🙄, my mom was 11 years old, she had no idea what to expect in 1965, that's when I was born 😁🤣🤣🤣.
Famously featured in the Rocky Horror Show!!
There is one thing they got wrong is they said humans developed hyperspace drive that can far surpass the speed of light yet Altair is less than 17 light years away and the were traveling for a year .. That's not too fast
Funny!
When I first saw the movie as an adult, I wondered "why did he give him landing coordinates if he didn't want him to land there?"
You have answered that question. Thank you!
" Ok. We know your alive, So we'll leave.
@@johnbockelie3899: That would've been another logical scenario. Now, if they had needed food or fuel, or to stop for repairs that's another story.
Awe, no story about how the cook only wants to drink whiskey all day? What a disappointment.
Better than the short version of Lord of the Rings.
Well, that was good for a laugh. "NO!"
That's like Bambi meets Godzilla!
:D THe credits are more than a quartter of the short !!! :D Lucky I passed by that LOL
Forbidden, indeed!
Very good! Best re-make EVER!
Altair is less than 17 light years away but it took them a year to get there .. That's not too fast .. They need to improve their FTL technology if they want to get to more star systems in a reasonable time frame
just this once, everybody lives
That was freakin' FUNNY!
@Bargaintuan Pryor made the comment in a routine long before "Alien".
Morbius and his ship seemed to get on the planet without landing coordinates. And what ship worth its salt needs landing coordinates in the 23rd century?
Watching all the long credits at the beginning, I saw where this was going. Good joke tho.
Formidable la vision de esta pelicula del espacio
GREAT SUSPENSE!!!
I thought there would be a *ROBOT* in there somewhere...😊
Wasn't sure what to expect there .. hilarious !
Well it might have been if your comment hadn't been at the top of the page staring everyone in the face as the giant spoiler it is.
Dr Morbius was not very friendly
well, i guess the crew will not see altaire do a pole dance routine now.
Suspension of Disbelief...i think is what Hollywood writers call it...of course if Morbius really didn't want them to land then he would have never given them the co-ordinates to do so...but then again his ID Monster was in need of more avenging... after all it had been 20 years...fun stuff...thanks for the parody ....well done....
Very good.
1957, NO WAY , yet it WAS so.....
Very Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Made in 1955 and released in '56.
Well, that does change things a bit... no landing coordinates... very short movie!
Richard Pryor noticed that there were never any black people in science fiction movies. He remarked "They don't think we'll make it to the future".
lol - didnt expect that! :D
That was unexpected...but i got a kick out of Morbius saying NO!!!!!. VERY COOL. P.S. Ann Francis was serious hot back then.
"They ain't plannin' for us to be here '
Short version with a long intro
If you had spent less time showing all the damn credits at the start, you could've squeezed more into the video, huh????????????????
I get it- "Okay, we don't land...let's get on to our next assignment." It WOULD look like a dull film {"Look, why just can't we keep it that way?", Dore Schary of MGM might have wondered. "We'd save a fortune on special effects! Just squeeze it between the next 'Tom & Jerry' release, nobody's interested, anyway."}. I've often wondered what might have happened if "Klaatu" from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" had simply decided to bypass our planet instead of LANDING on it...and blew it up anyway!
LOL...."we require landing co-ordinates'...."no!"....so they turn around and go home! Oscar worthy movie !! :^D
Great concept! I laughed out loud!
Yeah, I wondered where he was going, with such a long intro.
That made it funnier.
No, I literally ran out of character space and had to delete other references, LOL.
Excellent work!
What was the instrument used to create the eerie sounds? 🇬🇧🏴
"no"
It should have been the opening credits, them blowing up the planet, and the end credits.
Altaira will have to make do with Robbie the mechanical schwantzo.
You failed to realize one other important factor, Freud creatures from the id,
Wasn't MGM considering doing a remake of Forbidden Planet?
You are correct. Thanks.
Sorry, I forgot: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (what a classic!!), with Richard Dreyfuss character returning to earth young and healthy. One of my nephew he is 15 yo, thinks the aliens ate Dreyfuss when they took him to their mothership. He thinks the movie was cool but old, Oh! dear the generation gap is finally affecting me.
P.S.: What about Jaws 7th: ¨bigger, faster, stronger...MEANER!! and now in proficient 3D¨. I miss so much Spielbergs style movie directing and J.Williams encores.
VERY FUNNY. JUST ENJOYED THE WHOLE SHORT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL
Just say no ... to wellness checks!
wouldn't it be great if someone made a TV show based on this?. oh wait...
Dragged on a bit for me.
Well, that saved me alot of time!
Very funny indeed
Isn't that thoughtful, something beyond the credits.
Wow! By the writer's best guess, we would go to the moon "at the end of the 21st century"!!
Little did they know they would go to the moon only 13 years after this movie was made...
Yep that fits my sense of humour pmsl
So you can make a decent sci-fi movie using kitchen equipment!
That's the quote
BUT don't call me Shirley
It's 90 seconds on the titles, not 30.
On a double bill with the short version of HAMLET: Rosencrantz: "Hey Hamlet! Your uncle is now king and married your mother!" Hamlet: "So what, I'm in college here at Wittenberg Toga! Toga!"
And don't forget Heston's lover Lisa in The Omega Man.
But it is kind-of funny considering that you could easily get the full version if you really wanted. I've seen the full version plenty of times.
Glad to be of help
That was really funny.
GREAT!!! that will be the last time you insult United Planets! Take your planet and stick it! GREAT CONCEPT LAUGHED TO TEARS.
Antares
Too short for me ! 🤖
It's as if this movie was made for tadays short attention span. Now I know why they consider this a classic.
