The argument has been made that Forbidden Planet was based on ( The Tempest) I find this hard to weather. There were no electonic-impulse Id monsters in the Shakespeare play, though they did have some strange animals- one character said- I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy-headed monster! that does not apply to blind forces that can rip through 26 inches of Krell equivalent of stainless steel no way. No Shakespeare play deals with extra-planetary life, it was unthinkable in Elizabethan days.

RE: answer about Forbidden Planet and The Tempest

I do not know anything about Forbidden Planet. However, before we judge it so superficially-- that it does not have any electronic impulse Id monsters-- perhaps the movie parallels the play on other levels-- the basic situation and plotline, the themes, the types of characters, etc.

For example, The Lion King is essentially a reworking of Hamlet. True, there are no lions or monkeys or hyenas in Hamlet, but in Hamlet, Hamlet's father is killed by his father's brother, and Hamlet must decide whether or not to avenge his father's death. In the Lion King, the same basic plot exists.
