Did you know that the Musical Score for that movie... Wasn't music?
Sci-Fi sounds out of a synthesizer...:thumbup:

[ARtraveler]

I like it. Ditto: on Forbidden Planet. I have that one and still like to watch it. If you consider when it was made (1956), IMO--the special effects meet or exceed some movies like 2001 a Space Odysey, and Star Wars.

Gene Rodenbury said in an interview back in the 80's that he based Star Trek in some part on the movie Forbidden Planet. Look at the crew. A captain, a science officer and a Doctor. The cockpit of the Movie's Spaceship was set up very much like The Enterprise. There are other similarities but I have forgotten them.

1956 is also the year that changed my life; it got it started! ;)
So Robby and I sort of grew up together!
(How come HE still looks so good? :shocked:)

[Bob Denman]

My Missus and I had a running "Hatchet Battle" over this issue... :yikes:
I was sure that they were the same; she turned out to be right... :opps:

But I still maintain that they're close relatives...

For the longest time I thought Robbie and The Lost in Space Robot were the same, but now I see they weren't.

...And a fair amount of resentment for their counterpart... :shocked:

[NancysToy]

Is anybody else but me bothered by the fact that he/she saw Forbidden Planet in the movie theater when it was first released? Is anybody else bothered by the fact that they can still rememebr the name of Robbie the Robot after all these years, but can't remember what he/she ate for breakfast?

Best science fiction character ever...IMO!!!

[bruiser]

Although I didn't see it in the movies I do still remember his name. As far as remembering what I had for breakfast, uh...

The robot from Lost in Space was loosely based on Robbie.

Does anyone remember who "played" Robbie?

Robby was played by himself.

You are right and wrong at the same time. The Robot on the original TV show I believe was Robbie the Robot. The recent movie version was a newer Robot.

The movie may have had a newer version of the B9 robot than what stared in the series, but Robby and the B9 from the series are not the same. Robby did appear in the Lost in Space episode #20 "War of the Robots" and in episode #60 "Condemned of Space".

[bruiser]

Robby was played by himself.

Note that I had played in quotes. Robbie was "played" or operated by Frankie Darro. He was an actor who started out in silent films. He was also one of the 'Dead end Kids'.

[Sarge707]

Its much better than "The Last One?" The Last one gave me NightMares and I had to see a Pcychiatrist?:gaah:
