Ryan's World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure

Ahhhhh, Ryan's World, the YouTube Kids franchise milked out by Ryan's parents and PocketWatch. What was originally a generic toy channel became a franchise with merchandise, a Nick Jr. Television series, video games and various YouTube spin-offs. Now, we have this movie which gained a wide theatrical release and was pulled after only three weeks, not even making a tenth of its budget.

The story involves Ryan's younger sisters being kidnapped and Ryan must save them under his superhero alter-ego the Red Titan after he acts like a jerk to them, leading to the kidnapping. There goes our hero, causing a plot device for the sake of doing so! Some of the other Ryan's World characters also appear in this film but they're one-dimensional and forgettable.

The live-action portions are like amateur night, they barely improve from the YouTube channel itself. The animation is a bit stiff at times but its bright and colourful, and it helps that San-Ei Animation, the studio behind the Doraemon anime is behind this.

But overall... there was a reason why this bombed big time, it came out at the wrong time when Ryan's World isn't as big as it once was... and just feels like more pressure from PocketWatch. Will Ryan ever regret this film once he becomes an adult? Who knows.

At least Barney shows had a plot with a climax and an ending....this is just product placement cash grab visual fodder. If I had to pick one thing I like about the entire Ryan franchise it's the dad. He's at least funny in a way that he is naturally. He clearly doesn't try to do what he knows he can not. The mom is the antagonist in this tragedy of a movie. She is clearly the one responsible for this trash heap. I just feel bad for the children. Ryan is way passed the point of his peak popularity. And he is just too awkward to be likable at this point. When he was younger it was cute. Now it's just pathetic. When those three kids are older, yes, they will be financially secure (hopefully) but I just hope they don't act like Corey Feldog and make a career out of pan handling and dangling their former stardom out there like a worm on a hook soaking in a glass of water.

Where do I begin with this milquetoast, lame-o, and horrible excuse for an animated motion picture? To understand the cultural brainrot that it takes to produce such visual excretement, we must look to the past, the blessed year of 2014.

In 2014, "toy reviews" were the biggest thing on YouTube. The ubiquitous of the iPad combined with a new generation of parents meant more kids were online than ever, and content creators took advantage. RyansToyReview, as he was known as the time, was one of the largest. Originally, the videos were simple, just stuff like "playdoh surprise egg" bla, bla, bla. But, his parents were not satisfied. So instead, they grew a media empire beyond his dreams, which lead to the launch of the "Ryan's World" brand, one of the first big YouTuber forays into brick and mortar retail.

Before Ryan, there was no YouTuber "in-stores". YouTube celebrities were just YouTube celebrities. But in 2018-2019, Ryan dominated the market with a wave of products. You could not go into a Walmart or Target without seeing Ryan's face plastered in every single aisle. Forget Mr. Beast, Ryan did it first, and he seemingly succeeded.

We too, fell for the Ryan craze. We purchased one of his surprise eggs in 2019. Inside, a "mystery putty". That putty was black, which is a disturbing color for putty,. But regardless, my little brother left it on the carpet for a couple of hours and within that time, like some sort of alien substance, it completely destroyed the carpet. The putty came off fine, but whatever Ryan used as the dye in the puddy was beyond dye. It could have been taken from the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, for all I know. I'm not the only person who had this happen either--read the review's for the Ryan's World puddy.

Much like the puddy, this movie has destroyed everything. Because of Ryan's World, we now live in a world where YouTubers think they are celebrities alongside some of the biggest, recently, it has been Mr. Beast who has been everywhere, launching restaurants, candy bars, toy lines, and most recently, mainstream controversy about workplace abuse. Yay!

At the end of the day, my issue is not with Ryan, but with his parents. Why did Ryan need all this? Why did Ryan need a brand in stores? Why did Ryan need a show on Nick Jr.? Why did Ryan need a movie? Why did he need multiple video games? He didn't! He just wanted to make videos as a kid, on YouTube, for fun, and now, he is no longer popular. He grew up, and his parents are desperately trying to hurl him into the spotlight with a poorly produced film.

We don't need this. He doesn't need this.

I found this somewhere online, and just let me say, this movie sucks, the plot is essentially Ryan getting stuck in a comic book and has to save it, or something like that, just basic isekai stuff. The plot is bare and the dialogue is bad to meh at best, I guess it's ok for little kids but it's still a major flop, it literally costed $10 million, and got less then 1 million dollars in the box office, meaning it was a 9 MILLION DOLLAR loss. I also wanna mention that Ryan was 12 at the production of this, and now he's 13 yet still making videos for kids, and people think that his parents are just forcing him at this point, so just let me say this.

Let bro retire!!!

I watched Ryan's World Movie, and let me tell you, it made The Emoji Movie look like an Oscar contender. If you thought watching a kid open toys for hours on YouTube was rough, buckle up! This movie is like being trapped in a commercial for 90 minutes... but without the cool part where the commercial ends.

First off, the plot is thinner than a wet paper towel. Ryan and his animated pals go on some sort of adventure that's supposed to be exciting, but it's more like watching someone try to explain taxes to a toddler. The characters spend more time unboxing random things than actually doing anything interesting. It's like Transformers but with less action, and somehow, less heart (if that's even possible).

Speaking of heart, I felt like I lost mine about 30 minutes in. Remember Cats? At least that had the decency to be creepy enough to keep me awake. Here, I felt my brain slowly turning to jelly as I questioned every life choice that led me to this moment. Where was the suspense? Where was the tension? Heck, where was a joke that landed?

I could've rewatched The Room for the thousandth time and had a more meaningful experience. At least Tommy Wiseau's disasterpiece has so-bad-it's-good charm. This? This is like if you watched paint dry but instead of paint, it was toy slime, and instead of drying, it just stuck to your soul.

In summary, save your money and your sanity. Watching Ryan's World Movie is like having a never-ending toy unboxing shoved down your throat - and not even the good kind.

All I am saying I would of had a Rydinh and friends movie also this came out before the gumball movie I hope that THE AMAZING WORLD of gumball movie doesn't turn out like this garbage fire.
