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!
If this goes where I think it's going, then thank you for plugging the most noticeable plot hole from the original. To me, it was clear the original writers left a door open for a sequel. I'm so happy to see you've walked through that door.
Well, I sure I hope I don't disappoint you! I'm not sure if I'm going through the same "door", but where I intend going did seem pretty obvious to my eyes. So maybe?
I've been thinking that way for decades. It was pretty evident that Commander Adams was in for the worst pranging in history upon his return. And, as it was established that the Krell had a period of interstellar travel, it only made sense that they had left some colonies behind. I had my own thoughts on how a FP plotline could run from the original. I guess this one will do! I'll be looking forward to the next chapter.
> Every story has plot holes, if your smart enough to find & exploit them.. > Mine went in a completely different direction. The ship never made it back. Morbius underestimated the Krell. They didn't die but suffered a differnt fate from the dark side of super intelligence. And Altair 4 was back in orbit for a simple reason, like nothing ever happened to it & was visited once again by another recon ship 22 years later.
@mydogbrian4814 That's a good idea; the ship came under attack by the Id monster as they leaving Altair-4 ; the remaining crew barely escape it by going into hyperspace to Earth. After reporting to the leaders on Earth, Adams & company warned them about the Id monster coming to Earth & help prepare them for the attack.
Forbidden Planet was a favorite of mine growing up. Always loved the uneasiness of the Krell Machine existence while it's creators were long gone, wiped out by their own ids. Very unsettling.
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.
Forbidden Planet is one of my favorite movies and was ahead of its time. The hard-to-find, expensive paperback novelization by WJ Stuart is excellent and adds depth to the film too!
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).
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.
Interesting. I've been watching Forbidden Planet for 60-ish years. Finally some new content, thanks! Will follow to see how the story and storytelling evolve.
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!
I love the classic original movie, so I was curious and took a chance. I have to say this was great, it pulled right in and am hooked. I look forward to seeing more!
Loved it. Captures the essence of the original. The music, the titles and the characters, even if they were stylized. I liked the idea that their original mission was to find habitable planets to colonize. Like the easter egg of HAL in one scene. Forbidden Planet was one of my fav Sci-Fi movies. Always watched it when it was broadcast. A classic retelling/adaptation of Shakespeare's the Tempest.
I also loved the West End show "Return to the Forbidden planet" saw it many times great show, Music and the humour was brilliant especially when only one or two laughed at some dep reference joke.
as a long time--I should say, "a loooooooooooong" time fan of this gem of a movie, this was well done! I can appreciate the time and effort it took to make this. For myself, I always wished that this story would have been part of the Star Trek universe, with the C-57D being among the first FTL ships before the warp drive was invented, making the newer ships even faster than the C-57D. And in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Kirk would have been worried (to a point) that the V'Ger craft were the descendants of the Krell from a long distant colony coming back to Altair 4... until V'Ger passed right by Altair and headed straight to Earth! Can't wait to see the next installment!
Damn, that's a great idea! Always knew Star Trek took much inspiration from Forbidden Planet, but hadn't considered it could have been an actual PART of the ST universe. Love that! And thanks!
I've ALWAYS folded "Forbidden Planet" into the Star Trek Universe! It's great to know that I have company! In my mind, as it's implied that this took place circa 2200 AD, I see this as part of the post "Enterprise" but pre-Romulan War era, when the United Planets evolved from the Coalition of Planets into the United Federation of Planets; that nebulous era that's unchronicled--except for the "Forbidden Planet" stories! The term "United Planets" became colloquial shorthand that eventually evolved into the formal name, "The United Federation of Planets." (America became "The United States of America.") As for the lack of women (save for Altaira) on these cruiser ships...If you also fold in "Star Trek Continues," that series explains the absence of female starship captains in TOS as the result of a compromise: the patriarchal Tellarites provide starship weaponry in exchange for not allowing women in the captains' chairs. If we place "Forbidden Planet" into the Star Trek Universe as happening in that pre-Federation era, we can explain the all-male crew as being a part of that uneasy compromise. Anyway, yes, I have always seen this movie (and now its overdue sequel!) as an unofficial part of the Star Trek Saga. Thank you for this!!!!
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.
@@biggstrek Thank you, sir for your kind reply. I amended my original comment to say "some" of the characters. I really like all your renditions, Robby, Altaira and Cmdr Adams look Cool! Continued success to you in all your endeavors! The Future is in our hands!
I'm not 100% happy with the characters, and have adjusted a couple of them for Chapter Two. Just minor things, like the eyes. Robby remains the same as he came out pretty good the first time. Thanks again!
Really impressive! Since Forbidden Planet is one of my favourite movies of all time, I was thrilled to see this. And so beautifully realized. Look forward to the second part.
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.
Thank you! I have a lot of respect for JMS. If anyone was going to reboot FP (at a Hollywood level) I'd be very happy it was him at the helm. Pity it hasn't made it (yet...)
@@biggstrek It's my understanding he got as far as a story proposal. I don't know if he produced a script. If he did, I'd love to read it! I know he's a fan of the original, as he has said on many occasions (and shown in the episode "A Voice in the Wilderness" during season 1 of Babylon 5).
The visuals (theme perfect fonts, flat plastic vibes of the 1950s) and audio (love the electric tonalities and the sound effects are very good) really set the tone. I'm not totally sold on the cartoony character style but its a choice that harkens to the Thunderbirds. Special effects are pretty cool (particles galore) with my favorite being the blue thing that captures the ship. Cookie tries to steal his scenes but is definitely upstaged by Robbie the Robot. Solid writing. Looking forward to the next part!
Thanks biz, appreciate your review. The stylized approach wasn't my original intention, and I have some issues with it (Phil Rice pointed out the eyes and eyelids to me) so I may tweak them in the next instalment. I have a question for you regarding the "blue thingy" but I'll send that via PM. I do hope to have a Cookie and Robby scene in the next Chapter or two. Let's see if Cookie can finally upstage Robby! (Somehow doubt it, though...)
Remarkable. Very creative and well-executed. N.B. The Krell weren't killed by one monster, nor was that that creature resurrected by Morbius. What slaughtered them were "Monsters (plural) from the ID": i.e. the nightmarish vicious energy forms brought into being by each and every Krell whose mind was connected to the Great Machine. What's more, Krell minds were vastly more powerful than even Morbius & Doc's boosted intellects. Morbius admits he can only reach the level of a Krell child on the visualisation machine. It's possible that Morbius' relatively weak mind may be why he and his daughter survived. The entire Krell race were, he says, annihilated in just one night. Morbius' creature became dormant for years, though it may be that his dark emotions became quiescent after the Bellerophon crew were killed, sleeping until the saucer arrives and his daughter falls for Adams. It's a joy to see an imaginative sequel to one of the all-time greats of sci-fi. Thank you for the imagination and effort that has gone into this.
Thank you! And you are right in all that you say. It's just easier to abbreviate to a single "monster" when trying to recap for those that don't know the original film that well.
Great stuff! The atmospheric re-entry (entry?) and arrival over the ocean was reminiscent of the final moments of This Island Earth. A nod to it perhaps?
*BIIIG* fan of the movie; it's clear you love it too. Your vision is slightly different from what was originally made, but complimentary. I *very* much look forward to more chapters and will recommend this video to others.
Yeah, no, the intro was referring to the incident 20 years earlier where Morbius and his wife survived the destruction of Bellerophon expedition. Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you! The ship was made by a prop maker named 4DFans. Music was done by me using various Theremin-like apps on my tablet. Chapter Two in production as we speak. :)
It would seem there would be a high probability that the Krell had colonies on other planets, that did not have the great machine and survived the catastrophe. Perhaps this story will delve into that possibility.
While travelling to other planets, the Krell stumbled upon strange egg-like things in an abandonded alien ship and got destroyed anyway. They just can't get a break! 😆
You're sharp! I kind of saw the homage, but I was impressed with the graphics. For a second, I thought the rest of the story would take place under water. Not so far-fetched as the ocean is like deep space. Totally hostile to human life. Of course plot-wise, it really would not make sense.
@@biggstrek One other thing, your population crisis is very insightful. Even in the original FP, the narrator expains the set-up, but not the "why" beyond relieving the origianl pioneers. I don't know if you are aware of this, but there is a BBC radio drama performing FP. The voices are different, But, it uses the Barron soundtrack., and it is line by line exactly the same as the movie. It's on TH-cam, or at least it was several years ago. P.S. I like your suttle humor in the dialoge.
Having seen this film 🎥 many times , I'd like to congratulate one and all involved in a splendid continuation of this movie ! And I look forward to more forthcoming installments coming soon, I hope.
Thanks, we appreciate your comments! Actually, it's just me that does the work (one man band, as it were) though I could probably do with a team to help me. lol
I liked this as well. I've watched Forbidden Planet many times and would like this to be turned into a series of episodes, even if it's only on TH-cam I'd follow and watch it.
One of my absolute favorite ships! Along with Discovery (2001), the Eagles (Space:1999), and, of course, the *original* Enterprise ("No bloody A, B, C, or D").
Well, some would argue that the original pilot for Star Trek was an unofficial remake of Forbidden Planet. Then the whole Star Trek franchise would be the sequel.
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..?
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.
Yes, I'm continuing the story as we speak. As to the column of the ship, I figured if it moves up and down, why not let it help "recover" from an unusual landing?! And it was a fun concept to try and animate! Thanks for your comments!
Wow, Phil... this was a loooooooooonnnnnngggggg time coming :P All the usual touches; great to see you trying something a bit different with the stylistic choices... one complaint... why am I not in this?? :P Will be watching the *skies* on this one, old pal :)
Dude, been forever!! Great to know you are still around! Sorry you got passed over in the audition process. Oh wait, there wasn't one! (All the VOs are artificial.) Maybe next production!!! :)
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.
@@biggstrek You no doubt took inspiration from Bebe and Louis Barron. "Tonal effects" Where you going to use them, ot were there copyright issues.? (IThe one you created is great also)
I'm sure there would have been copyright issues had I used them (I have the "soundtrack" so it was tempting!) I opted to try doing it myself using Theremin-like apps on my tablet. The results were "ok" but I think I could have done better. Maybe in Chapter Two I'll find a better way.
I've always wanted to know more about the mysterious Krell. Even suggestions upon how they may have looked had to come from vague speculation. I want to learn as much as possible about them, their science and technology, and their achievements.
I had thought the Earth United Federation had outlawed non Caucasian astronauts in the 22nd century. Glad you revised that. "When Worlds Collide" was meant to have a sequel as the last scene showed the alien city, and there were more Cold War era novels by the author. I never thought of a sequel to FP...except thet Star Trek obviously became "Forbidden Planet the Next Generation" in the 60s.
Yes, I figured they needed a little ethnic diversity. Chapter Two will add another character/race as well (because why not!) "When Worlds Collide" had a sequel in book form ("After Worlds Collide" I think) though it's been a few years since I read it. Time for a re-read!
Holy cow, they were right over at Completely Machinima. This is GREAT!!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you!!
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!

Yep, you and me both. I'm hoping to keep the mood that way as I explore what happened beyond the "Forbidden Planet"...
There had been a sequel script roaming around Hollywood for a while but nothing happened... sad!!
Very nice work. Cannot wait for part 2.
You got the sound effects spot on.

hehe, I wish. But thanks for the compliment!
very good video because any one that saw forbidden planet knows that the Krell also explored vast areas of space
Correct!
should be an animated series about their adventures in space.

The original movie poster shows Robby carrying a near nude Alteira in his arms. No wonder he was walking stiffly.
hehehe
Can't wait for episode 2!
Me too! :)
YOU JUST REMINDED ME TO HIT THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON CHEERS
It would seem there would be a high probability that the Krell had colonies on other planets, that did not have the great machine and survived the catastrophe. Perhaps this story will delve into that possibility.
It'll be something like that, yes. Thanks for watching!
While travelling to other planets, the Krell stumbled upon strange egg-like things in an abandonded alien ship and got destroyed anyway. They just can't get a break! 😆
Cheers from your newest subscriber from California 😎
Welcome aboard!
Thought Star Trek pilot episode “The Cage” would work as a sequel too “Forbidden Planet”.
Maybe!
Looked like Altair was going to jump cookies bones for a minute there.
Now that would make things spicy!
Nice homage to "This Island Earth" in that entry and splashing/landing sequence at the end!
You're sharp! I kind of saw the homage, but I was impressed with the graphics. For a second, I thought the rest of the story would take place under water. Not so far-fetched as the ocean is like deep space. Totally hostile to human life. Of course plot-wise, it really would not make sense.
Strange as it may seem, it was an accidental homage. Maybe it was lurking in by subconscious (beware the ID!)
Interesting idea! :)
@@biggstrek Of course! You are a creative artist, you don't "remember" You "Absorb".
@@biggstrek One other thing, your population crisis is very insightful. Even in the original FP, the narrator expains the set-up, but not the "why" beyond relieving the origianl pioneers. I don't know if you are aware of this, but there is a BBC radio drama performing FP. The voices are different, But, it uses the Barron soundtrack., and it is line by line exactly the same as the movie. It's on TH-cam, or at least it was several years ago. P.S. I like your suttle humor in the dialoge.
Wow.. Pretty good... I look forward to the next chapters..
I'm working on them! Thanks for watching Chapter One!
Wonderful!
Thank you!!
Very entertaining. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Great to see is continuing.
Such a classic. Keep the story coming. ❤❤
...only taken about 70 years. lol Thanks!
Only complaint - Altair was not a patch on Anne Francis
True, Anne Francis was exquisite.
Having seen this film 🎥 many times , I'd like to congratulate one and all involved in a splendid continuation of this movie ! And I look forward to more forthcoming installments coming soon, I hope.
Thanks, we appreciate your comments! Actually, it's just me that does the work (one man band, as it were) though I could probably do with a team to help me. lol
Excellent job, thanks.
Thank you too!
Very good. I look forward to another chapter.
Thanks, me too! :)
Very Nice Job Thank you
Thank you too!
When I younger in the 1960's, being 80
now, Walter Pidgeon's sister was a
neighbor of ours long ago. 😅
Cool!
@@biggstrek Thanks 😊
Thnat's pretty cool!
@@ToddHolmes-qt8ox Thanks 😊
I liked this as well. I've watched Forbidden Planet many times and would like this to be turned into a series of episodes, even if it's only on TH-cam I'd follow and watch it.
Thanks, that's pretty much what I'm aiming for. Working on Chapter Two as we speak. :)
@biggstrek Fantastic, I'll be waiting . There's so many scenarios that you can branch off on.
Yes im liking it! Bring on chapter 2
I'm working hard on it!
Nicely done! I'm eager to see chapter 2!
It's in the works! Thx!
That was cool! Can't wait for chapter 2!
Thanks, I'm working on it!
Glad I didn't dismiss this, watched it, seems ok, thanks
I'm glad, too! Thanks!
NOT BAD! NOT BAD AT ALL!! MORE STORIES, PLEASE!!!❤❤
Thanks a lot! Working on it now!
@@biggstrek Heh-Heh! "Forbidden PlanetS," eh?
That's so obvious, and yet it never crossed my mind. doh!
LOL, I love this, it's Saturday afternoon all over.
Funny you should say that, that's how I watched the original as well! Thanks for watching!
Excellent work. More, please.
Thanks, working on it!
Nicely done. It would be nice to see many more chapter's
Thank you. There should be at least 2 more Chapters, but probably 3.
Nice work, looking forward to Ch 2!
Thanks, I'm hard at it right now!
Morbius and his daughter, not his wife.
Not sure why that was changed…?
Looks great, so far.
Actually, the intro was referring to the incident twenty years earlier when the Bellerophon was destroyed. Glad you liked it anyway!
Can`t wait for Part Two
Thanks, I'm working on it!
The United Planets Cruiser C 57 D is highly underrated.
Indeed!
One of my absolute favorite ships!
Along with Discovery (2001), the Eagles (Space:1999), and, of course, the *original* Enterprise ("No bloody A, B, C, or D").
Ann Francis will have been 94 on the 16th of September 😊
She was lovely.
Very intrigued, I have always wondered who no one in the last 68 years have either written or produced a sequel to this.
I've wanted a (real) sequel and I've dreaded a sequel at the same time. :) Thanks for your comments!
Well, some would argue that the original pilot for Star Trek was an unofficial remake of Forbidden Planet. Then the whole Star Trek franchise would be the sequel.
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..?
Anything's possible! (But no spoilers... lol) Thanks!
I'm a big fan of Forbidden Planet.I consider it a forerunner of Star Trek
Yes indeed!
Looks fine to me, I am intrigued to see what happens in the "Lost in Space" vibe
Thanks, working on it! ("Danger, Will Robinson!!" - oops, wrong robot. hehe)
The ship looks good.
Thanks!
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.
Yes, I'm continuing the story as we speak. As to the column of the ship, I figured if it moves up and down, why not let it help "recover" from an unusual landing?! And it was a fun concept to try and animate! Thanks for your comments!
sweet loving it keep it coming
Will do, thank you!
I like it.. Intrigued to see where you take this.
Great! Stay tuned for Chapter Two!
Impressive! Thanks for your efforts. Good story. The character animations are a little underdeveloped (except Altaira, who is overdeveloped!)
Thanks! I do intend to make the animation a little better in Chapter Two (particularly the facial animations.) Stay tuned!
Wow, Phil... this was a loooooooooonnnnnngggggg time coming :P
All the usual touches; great to see you trying something a bit different with the stylistic choices... one complaint... why am I not in this?? :P
Will be watching the *skies* on this one, old pal :)
Dude, been forever!! Great to know you are still around! Sorry you got passed over in the audition process. Oh wait, there wasn't one! (All the VOs are artificial.) Maybe next production!!! :)
@@biggstrek I won't hold my breath, then; I'll have died of old age by the time the next one comes out 😘
lol, no comment. :)
Looking forward to the next chapter.
Great! Thanks!
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.
I'm working on Chapter Two as we speak! Glad you enjoyed the first one! :)
@@biggstrek You no doubt took inspiration from Bebe and Louis Barron. "Tonal effects" Where you going to use them, ot were there copyright issues.? (IThe one you created is great also)
I'm sure there would have been copyright issues had I used them (I have the "soundtrack" so it was tempting!) I opted to try doing it myself using Theremin-like apps on my tablet. The results were "ok" but I think I could have done better. Maybe in Chapter Two I'll find a better way.
@@biggstrek Not at all! I thought your soundtgrack was quite faithful to the Barron's tonalities (WAY, way, ahead of their time!)
Oh my, I was hoping for better for Robby's voice. Otherwise, quite creative.
I tend to agree. The original Robby voice was the best. But this was the best I could do (on a budget).
@biggstrek a goof effort. Keep it up!
what fun, love it !
Thank you!
I've always wanted to know more about the mysterious Krell. Even suggestions upon how they may have looked had to come from vague speculation. I want to learn as much as possible about them, their science and technology, and their achievements.
Yeah, it's an intriguing topic. I'll certainly add to the mythos where I can, but there will always be mysteries left to be found by others...
That was FUN!
Thx!
I had thought the Earth United Federation had outlawed non Caucasian astronauts in the 22nd century. Glad you revised that.
"When Worlds Collide" was meant to have a sequel as the last scene showed the alien city, and there were more Cold War era novels by the author.
I never thought of a sequel to FP...except thet Star Trek obviously became "Forbidden Planet the Next Generation" in the 60s.
Yes, I figured they needed a little ethnic diversity. Chapter Two will add another character/race as well (because why not!) "When Worlds Collide" had a sequel in book form ("After Worlds Collide" I think) though it's been a few years since I read it. Time for a re-read!
