Amazing indeed!!!!!

*"Did everybody get all that?" - Dark Helmet.*

Excellent!

Merry Ho-Ho LOL

when will chapter 2 be here?

I felt shortchanged by the very brief ending in the original movie.

Very entertaining. Thank you.

Holy cow, they were right over at Completely Machinima. This is GREAT!!!! ❤❤❤

This is a very nice tribute to a GREAT film. As Robbie would say, "Morbius, a gentleman named Biggs Trek has created a most excellent tribute to you and this Forbidden Planet of yours...do you wish to view it on the Krellevision?" Well done, Mr Browne!

- Altaira's skirt needs to be shorter.

As a big fan of the movie (who was crushed when the remake didn’t happen), I found this very enjoyable. Actually… let’s call it awesome.

It would be possible to AI all the original actors to reprise a more theatrical version for FP-2.

Bravo, Mr. Philip Browne (BiggsTrek)-- Very well done. The story is faithful the original movie, even as some of the likenesses of the main characters are different. The animation is of a warm and comfortable style, while maintaining the details of the original concept. The story is interesting and exciting. I highly look forward to the next chapter.

Cheers from your newest subscriber from California 😎

Excellent job, thanks.

Forbidden Planet was my favorite movie when I was a kid. That ID monster scared me. That the Krell had interplanetary space travel was documented in the movie so it would be an almost forgone conclusion that they would have left behind colony planets. Great start to a story. I hope to see more!

*** Forbidden Planet: Reimagined and Expanded *** The Krell Live! Unknown to Morbius, the Krell still exist, they are without form, without instrumentality, living within a realm created by the enormous 8000 cubic mile Krell machine for 25,000 centuries. Imagine a rebirth of *Forbidden Planet*, a story steeped in 1950s wonder and brought to life through modern filmmaking, with stunning visuals and deep existential themes. This reimagining delves into the mysteries of the Krell-a race that vanished 25,000 centuries ago-and the fateful human encounter with their dangerous legacy. *Prologue: The Krell’s Ascendancy and Collapse* The story begins 25,000 centuries ago, we peer into the Krell's existence from a-far, see their magnificent society, the architecture, music, art, see them going about their business. We glimpse the wisdom they have and how they teach their children and more. We witness a species of incredible intellectual and technological might. Their civilization spanned thousands of millennia, culminating in the construction of a massive 8,000-cubic-mile machine beneath the surface of Altair IV. This machine was designed to usher them into a new realm-a place where they could transcend physical form, without instrumentality and live purely as thought. But when they activated the machine, the Krell were struck by a catastrophe they had not foreseen: the monsters from their own subconscious, the “Id,” were unleashed. Their darkest desires and fears took form, and the Krell, despite all their advancements, could not defend themselves. Many were violently torn apart, while a small group-their infants and youth-managed to cross into the non-physical realm, but were trapped there, unable to control it, no knowledge of how to operate it and were stuck inside, never to leave, forever. For thousands of centuries, the remnants of the Krell have been stranded in this timeless prison, their vast technology still running, waiting to be rediscovered. *Part 1: The Bellerophon Expedition* *Thousands of centuries later**, the starship *Bellerophon is sent to Altair IV, tasked with exploring this distant planet. Among the crew is Dr. Edward Morbius, a brilliant but unassuming philologist whose initial role is merely to document any linguistic traces they might find. He knows nothing of the Krell or the secrets hidden beneath the planet’s surface. The mission starts as a routine survey. The crew begins excavating ruins and uncovering mysterious structures, but soon they realize they have stumbled upon something extraordinary-remnants of an ancient civilization far more advanced than anything humanity has ever known. At first, Morbius is cautious, intrigued but unsure of the significance. As more evidence emerges, however, Morbius finds himself irresistibly drawn to the Krell's technology, which appears to have been light years ahead of humanity in both scale and ambition. With every discovery, his fascination deepens. Massive machines, complex networks, and vast energy sources buried deep within the planet hint at the Krell’s ability to manipulate reality itself. Morbius becomes consumed by the enigma of the Krell, devoting himself to studying their machines and learning their language, driven by an overwhelming desire to understand what led to their downfall. But as Morbius’s obsession grows, he begins to unknowingly tap into the Krell’s technology-awakening forces beyond his control. *Part 2: The Fall of the Bellerophon* As Morbius and the crew dig deeper into the Krell ruins, they unwittingly trigger the ancient machine, setting off a chain of events that mirrors the Krell's own fate. Unbeknownst to the crew, the machine is designed to project the subconscious into reality, transforming thoughts and emotions into physical manifestations. It is this very power that destroyed the Krell, and now, without realizing it, Morbius has tapped into the same forces. Tensions rise aboard the Bellerophon as Morbius begins to resist the crew's desire to leave the planet and return to Earth. The wonders of the Krell technology have captured his imagination completely, and he refuses to abandon the discoveries. His subconscious mind, fueled by frustration and hidden fears, begins to create monsters-beings made of raw, destructive power, invisible and unstoppable. These creatures, born from Morbius's unacknowledged desires, begin hunting down the crew, slaughtering them in grotesque, unimaginable ways. The few who manage to escape to the Bellerophon are vaporized by energy blasts conjured from Morbius’s unconscious rage. In the aftermath of the destruction, the creatures vanish, their work done, leaving Morbius alive and alone on the planet. Stricken with guilt but unable to comprehend the full extent of his responsibility, he retreats into isolation, dedicating himself to studying the Krell in solitude. He builds a home, constructs an advanced AI robot named Robby using Krell technology, and raises his daughter, Altaira, alone after his wife dies in childbirth. *Part 3: The Arrival of the C57D* Twenty years later, the starship C57D arrives at Altair IV to investigate the disappearance of the Bellerophon and its crew. The ship’s captain, J.J. Adams, contacts Dr. Morbius, who now lives a secluded life, his vast knowledge of the Krell making him a recluse. Morbius is reluctant to allow the new crew to explore the planet, fearing that they will suffer the same fate as his former companions. He believes the Krell’s knowledge is far too dangerous for humanity to possess, knowing it could destroy them just as it destroyed the Krell. Despite his warnings, Adams and his crew begin their investigation, uncovering more and more of the Krell's lost technology. What none of them realize is that the Krell are still alive-but not in any physical sense. The remnants of their consciousnesses remain trapped in the non-physical realm created by the machine, and they have been observing everything. The machine is still active, sustaining their existence and maintaining the barrier between the physical and non-physical realms. As Morbius's growing paranoia and subconscious fears resurface, the machine once again begins to project his inner demons into the real world. The monsters from his Id return, more powerful than ever, threatening to destroy the C57D crew just as they did the *Bellerophon*. *Part 4: The Final Revelation* In a desperate bid to save Altaira and the remaining crew, Morbius comes to a tragic realization-he has been the key to all the destruction. The Krell machine was never meant to fall into human hands, and his inability to control his subconscious has led to the deaths of two crews. He understands now that the Krell were not destroyed by outside forces but by their own inability to manage the vast powers they created. In a final act of redemption, Morbius sacrifices himself. He activates the machine’s self-destruct sequence, initiating the destruction of Altair IV. In his dying moments, he warns Adams that they have 24 hours to evacuate the planet before it tears itself apart. The crew of the *C57D*, along with Altaira, narrowly escape, leaving Altair IV behind as the planet disintegrates into nothingness. The Krell, their legacy, and their forbidden knowledge are lost forever. Destroying the Krell that live withing the machine. It is Mankind that ultimately and unwittingly kill those without instrumentally, the children of the Krell trapped within the machine! *Epilogue: A Universe Forever Changed* In this new vision of *Forbidden Planet*, humanity is confronted not only with the dangers of technology but with the perils of their own inner selves. Morbius’s journey reflects the dangers of unchecked knowledge and the dark potential lurking within the subconscious mind. The Krell’s downfall becomes a cautionary tale for humanity-a warning that some knowledge, no matter how advanced, may carry the seeds of its own destruction. As the C57D sails away from the ruins of Altair IV, the crew-and the audience-are left with a haunting realization: humanity, too, could one day fall victim to the monsters of their own making. This reimagined Forbidden Planet blends the classic story with deeper philosophical themes, exploring the intersection of technology, consciousness, and the fragile balance between knowledge and self-control. A tale for the modern age, it reminds us that even as we reach for the stars, the greatest threat may lie within our own minds. -- Max McByte (2024)

Impressive. I have subscribed to see more. Thank you for creating this.

Morbius and his DAUGHTER!

Wow! This was a real surprise. Very ambitious and imaginative. I do hope you continue with chapter 2. I have often wondered what a sequel would look like but felt it would be too expensive to be done well. The original was such a landmark. It's incredible this is a one-man creation. I'm sure you will get others interested in this project. Bravo to your imagination and skill.

I HAVE THIS FILM ON DVD AND ROBBIE THE ROBOT IS IN THIS FILM AND HE WAS IN A TV SHOW CALLED LOST IN SPACE AND DOCTOR SMITH WAS IN THIS TV SHOW CALLED ROBBIE THE ROBOT YOU BOBBLE HEAD BOBBY AND ROR BI THE ROBOT IS IN THIS TV SHOW CALLED LOST IN SPACE AND DOCTOR SMITH WAS in THIS TV SHOW 😁 AND ROBBIE THE ROBOT IS IN A FILM THE FOBBITPLANE PLANET AND i HAVE THIS FILM ON DVD 😁

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Nice homage to "This Island Earth" in that entry and splashing/landing sequence at the end!

Absolutely awesome! You super fans didn't wait for Hollywood, you made your own episodic sequel! Will there be any more episodes? I am hooked! I always fantisized a sequel myself, with the "ID" monter of Dr. Morbius arriving on earth and causing mayhem.

Do you want to Bounce through this one!? 😅

When I younger in the 1960's, being 80 now, Walter Pidgeon's sister was a neighbor of ours long ago. 😅

Please fix the subtitles.

Excellent work, including the music. It was reminiscent of the original without copying. The slight recharacterizations are equivalent to what might happen in a remake with actors. I hope you're planning to keep going with the story. PS Check me on this, but as I recall, C-57D's central column was its force field for propulsion and landing, not a solid metal cylinder as yours looks to be. Your use of it to recover from the sand slide would still work as you portray it. PPS Effective introduction of the antagonist, and of "diversity" without being sappy.

Bravo! I loved forbidden planet and I’m thrilled to see you’re doing such a faithful of the story. I can’t wait to see more!

I enjoyed this. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make a faithful continuation of Forbidden Planet (from the days when they actually made good sci-fi movies).

Interesting!

I love that you have brought this back to life in animation. One of my favourite films!

Wow.. Pretty good... I look forward to the next chapters..

Very Nice Job Thank you

A green pt Cruiser 😊

Ann Francis will have been 94 on the 16th of September 😊

Nice work!

The United Planets Cruiser C 57 D is highly underrated.

That was Totally Awesome 😎

Impressive. Obviously, these guys are proud graduates of the Exeter School of Driving.

This was damned entertaining and a worthy sequel to the original Forbidden Planet. Hats off to the creators! Looking forward with great interest to Chapter 2.

Very well done! The nice nods to "This Island Earth" and the C57-D crossing the sky reminded me of both "It Came from Outer Space" and "Prometheus." I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this! J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5) was involved in an attempted sequel in the 1990s, but it died in development.

Here is an online theremin that works great that you might be able to use for sound effects for your videos.. You can change all the settings to get the exact sound you want. To get it to work, there is a problem with it sometimes, click the circle at the top, and it will say "page 404" or something like that. Go back to the theremin page, it will work fine

That was FUN!

Great stuff! I just watched FP for the first time last night. Your characters have more emotionality than the originals

Fantastic animated sequel with a plausible plot & evidently a labour of love to my favourite 50s SF film...I'm also hoping we finally get to see the mysterious Krell after the cliffhanger crash landing in part two of your masterpiece..?

Sigh...that was really disappointing. The animation was terrible. For a groundbreaking science fiction classic like Forbidden Planet a much higher type of cartoon, 32 frames a second isn't going to cut it. 128 frames might give the characters that natural motion feel. But this doesn't get it. The idea is a great one. But it needs to be rethought and redone. Forget the low brow humor and focus on much better animation, steer clear of the AI generated crap. And write a plot that adults will get without overt and gratuitous sexual inuendo. Sigh, this could have been great. Better luck next time. I'm out of here.

And you thought the sequel to Avatar took forever! Ha! Thanks for sharing!

Thought Star Trek pilot episode “The Cage” would work as a sequel too “Forbidden Planet”.
