By the way, if you watch this film and can't help but think it feels completely like a ''Series/{{Star Trek|TheOriginalSeries}}'' episode (but without Mr. Spock), that's no accident -- Creator/GeneRoddenberry fully admitted that ''Forbidden Planet'' was one of the primary inspirations for his series, and ''Forbidden Planet's'' fingerprints are all over ''Trek's'' writing, story, style, and tech. It also gave some Japanese creators their momentum, and its elements can be found again in ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato'' and ''Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon.''

* SettingUpdate: Shakespeare's ''Theatre/TheTempest'', '''[[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]]''' Famously, this took the form of updating the magic of the original into scientific concepts, like Morbius being a scientist rather than a magician and using Freud's theories of the elements of the unconscious mind rather than the classical elements of the natural world, and associating the moral, logical superego with Robbie the Robot while [[spoiler: the Monster from the Id represents the unfettered, mindless impulses and drives of the mind]] in the same vein as Ariel's association with air and fire while the brutish Caliban is connected to the "lower elements" of earth and water.
