This was the work of Disney animator Joshua Meador. He had created visual effects in Disney productions such as “Snow White,” “Pinocchio,” “Fantasia,” “Bambi,” “Dumbo” and “Cinderella” but it was his work on "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" that got the attention of MGM and led them to contact Disney to borrow Meador for Forbidden Planet. Besides the Rotoscope effects Meador also created the matte paintings inside the Krell power plant. Forbidden Planet directly inspired Gene Roddenbery to create "Star Trek" and inspired much of the look and feel of effects in Star Wars.
Rotoscoping is an animation technique that animators use to trace over motion picture footage, frame by frame, to produce realistic action. Originally, animators projected photographed live-action movie images onto a glass panel and traced over the image. This however, is special effects animation. No less impressive.
Rotoscoping History Koko the Clown is a character from Max Fleischer's short animation Out of the Inkwell. When it was first released in 1914, people were amazed by how fluid and lifelike the way the clown moved and danced. That's when the technique rotoscoping was first used in animation.
Hi! This is also the meaning of 'rotoscoping' that I first knew, but my understanding is that it also has a more obscure meaning that only requires that painting is done directly on film. For example, the Wikipedia page for rotoscoping lists the lightsaber effects in the original Star Wars trilogy as an example. The reason I titled this video the way I did is that the effects are painted over the original film, so I think it qualifies as rotoscoping, although I agree it's not the first thing I think of when I hear that word. I'm all for accuracy in the title, but I think "special effects animation" is too vague and it's not misleading as is so I'm going to leave it. Thanks for commenting! :)
@@radeklew1 I think that probably the shots from the laser pistols, the Death Star beam, and the firing from the individual Star Destroyers was rotoscoping.
I always love to watch old school science fiction movies unlike so called modern day version of nothingness. As a kid in the early 1970s I love to watch the Forbidden Planet but yet that giant lion like monster gave me the creeps.
Sadly in those days very few people dare to invest in good sci-fi movies, remember how difficult was for George Lucas sell his idea, how many studios refused to back his "bizarre" project.
@@mercuryredstone2235 Hadn't been for 'Forbidden Planet' We wouldn't have TV shows like, Star Trek, or si fi movies like, Star Wars, and a host of other science fiction and TV shows, movies, that owe their inspirations to 'Forbidden Planet' And, Thank you very much for answering my comments.
It’s not just energy. The Id Monster, as the name implies, is made up of Morbius’ inner malice, anger, resentment, all that nasty stuff. In essence, it isn’t some alien creature, but rather a manifestation of pure hatred.
@@knightofarkronia9968 perhaps a futuristic version of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story. The noble and the vicious, precariously balanced in one person.
I do wish they had found a better effect for the blasters. I don't know about other viewers, but to me, the blasters looked like a form of energetic squirt gun.
Yes, and I realize the limitations of the time but you'd hope members of the army had slightly better aim. Another way it influenced Star Wars I suppose!

Timeless gem, I can simply dream this movie ❤️
Yes lived this
I love the design element in the film. Robby looks like he could really work
I rate Forbidden Planet as my #1 Top Pick in sci fi movies. The best science fiction movie ever made.
That's a bold statement.
@@HR-yd5ib "That's a bold statement."
Yes.....in all 187 languages, their various dialects, and sub-tongues.

The 1st Color Sci Fi Movie I Saw in 1962 at 5 yrs. old.
65 years and it's still in my top 10.
Me too.
…and me! ❤
I'm 75 years old and agree with you 100%. Best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie and I are the same age. The scene with the ID Monster scared the s**t out of 7 year old me...

Got that right, I was trained at UCLA in film making, especially animation.
Dang! I wonder who animate red tiger scene??

Forbidden planet was the star wars of it's day.
The 2001 of its day too.
Sadly in those days very few people dare to invest in good sci-fi movies, remember how difficult was for George Lucas sell his idea, how many studios refused to back his "bizarre" project.
Star Trek of it's day is more like it, since it was one of the primary inspirations for Star Trek.

禁断の惑星はSF映画の大傑作ですよね～😮イドという潜在意識の怪物というアイデアも最高でしたね～🤔🙏
Hey wait a minute. Isn't that the Tasmanian devil from Bugs Bunny cartoon?? 😂
Apparently the very grasp of Larry the Id Monster is fatal. A whole lot of energy going on there, courtesy of the Krell.

I agree, now, but for an eight year old in 1964 watching it for the first time-before Lost In Space or Star Trek, it was KOOL!
There are very few flaws with the movie, maybe only that the rotoscoping could be better.
You can't compare science fiction movies back then to movies that seems to be science fiction today
That's because they used special effects to tell the story, instead of nowadays when special effects seem to be the whole story.
