Billy Chapin in TOBOR, THE GREAT - 1954

Good old Tobor ! what a cool Robot !

Wow! TOBOR is a sweet robot! I have always been a fan of Robby the Robot and GORT, but TOBOR really moves fast and actually creates a slight feeling of panick when he comes on the scene to the rescue! It's SWEET when he comes busting through the bookshelf and the great music builds! Awesome movie! Probably the best of the Sci-Fi Robot pictures of the 50's!

GORT from the movie: THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, was the best movie robot, ever!

This movie has its flaws, but the robot and lab are still super cool. As an 10 year old, I thought it was amazing! Only Robby the Robot could top him! Too bad they shot him into space! He;d have made a great babysitter, if a bit hard on the furniture!

Boy he sure can haul ass for a robot, LOL YOu look at this and you can see a lot of Japanese robot stuff beginning here-Johnny Sokko, Jet Jaguar, Gigantor. I have no doubt this show was an influence on the budding young minds at Toho studios. And that's a GOOD thing.

"Gee Tobar, your wonderful!"
I saw it once wheni was 8yrs old and never forgot it,,,thanks for putting it on
