> This film is remarkable in many ways, it is very advanced in it's effects for it's time, is actually adult, not juvenile in it's acting and script, deals with the concepts of innocence and evil and also last but by no means least is where a beloved character first makes an appearance. One who went on to feature in a TV series and another later film. I am talking of course about Robbie the Robot, also something of a first as he was not a rampaging monster like almost all previous cinematic robots, but a useful, helpful and benign servant. A precursor of Asimov's positronic robots unable by design and built-in 'laws' to harm or kill a human.

Walabio:
The first Robotic Stories of Professor Isaac Asimov predate Forbidden Planet by more than a decade. 1 of them even has a robotic character named Robby. Robbie in the movie is an homage to Robbie. He named the story Robbie. The Good Doctor started writing Robbie on 1939-06-10.
