Robbie-the-robot was built specially for 'forbidden planet'... and was later used in 'the invisible boy' to help recover some of the cost of building him.

(interesting enough 'as' the robot from the forbidden planet movie - as theres a poster in the abandoned lab where Timmy (i know i know... Timmy) first finds robbie... or at least his scattered parts. The picture is of Robbie getting off the saucer from forbidden planet (with the rest of the crew) back on earth. Robbie ends up back in the past in an abandoned lab via a time-traveling, now deceased, scientist. Who for some reason disassembles him)

He has since appeared in TV ads, cameo in other movies (like gremlins) and scifi conventions around the world.

ok ok. perhaps a little too much information???
