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.

This film is one of the worst cash grabs ever made, and promotes the exploitation of child stars on YouTube. The characters are complete jerks who barely learn anything, animation that is passable but poorly lip-synced, and the most generic story a kids film could ever have, that doesn't deliver anything new and fits a 5 minute cartoon more than a feature film. It is filled to the brim with product placement, acting that feels extremely forced and souless, jokes that either make no sense or are used as filler, and the film itself isn't even faithful enough to the Ryan's World franchise itself, feeling more like a reboot than an adaption. This is among the worst kids movies of the past decade, along the lines of Norm of the North, The Emoji Movie and Cool Cat Saves the Kids.

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.

This flim is generic, and fails to teach or even be entertaining. The box office proves the point straight up, 600,000 vs 10 million budget. That is historically low, and completely bombed. To be honest, I'm so glad no marketing happened for this movie, because it's would have been more of a bomb. Child exploitation definitely is here too since Ryan isn't enjoying this at all. For the love of God, please let this kid retire and enjoy his life! These parents are so harmful in the head that once he turns 18, he's gonna be screwed and probably be lonely into his 20s. Anyways, this film is cheap and no effort was put in. Goodbye.

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.

Watched this movie with my children. I've never seen such horrible animation, with poor voice acting. It just uses Ryan to lure the kids in to watch 90 minutes of total mediocrity. When the trailer first released I thought it would've had a somewhat of a decent storyline. But it just takes basic plots from other notable films. This movie is just a waste of $60. The only reason this movie is known is because of the exploitation of Ryan's young audience. Because of how easily the mind of a child could be manipulated. To simplify everything I just said this movie is just a easy cash grab that took no effort.

"Ryan's World: Titan Universe Adventure" is a groundbreaking movie that's perfect for kiddos and a must-see for families. The blend of live-action and animation is brilliantly executed, making it a joy to watch YouTubers like Ryan Kaji and his family shine on the big screen. The animation is top-notch, serving as a fantastic introduction to anime for younger audiences. My kids were absolutely captivated! It's refreshing to see a full-length movie created by YouTubers-something that's never been done before. This could truly revolutionize the way Hollywood approaches filmmaking, especially for younger viewers who are more tuned into YouTube than traditional film and TV. We're already hoping for a sequel!

Bad movie don't get me wrong, extremely underwhelming. However his parents need to stop selfishly making him create these videos, they should let his sisters takeover before they grow out out it too.
Constant exposure can also impact kids' emotional development, making them reliant on external validation and, at times, subjecting them to unwanted public attention or bullying. Ultimately, using a child's life and personality as a product risks their privacy and well-being for the sake of profit. Children lack the ability to fully understand or consent to being on public platforms, around when this channel first started I used to watch it with my siblings when babysitting around when i was 12 myself and I have noticed a significant change in him as I watch the channel again after years. Even my young nieces and nephew agree that he doesn't seem to really enjoy this, a 5 year old can tell.
He is too old for this let him enjoy his teenage years because if my parents made me do this they are not hearing from me after 18. The internet is a cruel place for children.

Honestly yes we all know Ryan couldn't just stop having this kind of madness stuff. But turns out yes if we have this kind of movie the popularity of Ryan World is going to be a lot worse than you think. I wouldn't wanted recommended to watch this, so yes we should all agree to let go of Ryan before this madness could spread out the whole ENTIRE country. Just to tell you no one really wanted to watch this. This movie is not a success I would rather watch other kids movie instead of this. And this Ryan world madness should be stop! Plus if you wanted to watch this just watch it at your own risk if you want.

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!!!

Just let him live his goddamn life. He's almost like a slave to you guys. This movie makes any Barney movie look like Fine arts. I mean, come on. I heard they're trying to enslave his twin sisters with a new project called EK world like nobody's gonna watch that because everyone knows that you're just trying to get cash. Also, if you're seeing this, Ryan, please call out for help because this situation is just getting worse. Now it's time for the roast of the day. This is basically the emoji movie all over again, but even worse. It flopped so much because Ryan's parents knew he did not want to do this.

Just here to remind you that "The Terminator" was made with less budget ($7 million) , yet it took off way better. Free Ryan already or somethin' i dunno, he deserves it! Come on... anyway, free my boy, and let him retire, he's already a millionaire at this point, you folks don't even need to pay taxes, yet you still try to milk off money from ryan like he's a cow, even a cow needs to rest at some point! Nothing lasts forever, meh 1/10 in general, I don't know what to say anymore so here's a definition of cheburek: "Cheburek (plural: Chebureki) are deep-fried turnovers with a filling of ground or minced meat and onions. A popular street dish, they are made with a single round piece of dough folded over the filling in a crescent shape. They have become widespread in the former Soviet-aligned countries of Eastern Europe in the 20th century. "

I did not watch the movie, but I know that it sucks. I would rather see anything else other than this pathetic cash cow. It lost over 9 million dollars out of the budget of 10 million. Also, Ryan is 13 and still acts like he is a 5-year-old. I feel bad for him, he wants to have a normal childhood, but his parents are stripping that from him. The plot was just boring, the jokes suck, and Ryan would rather be anywhere else than filming a movie. His parents will need to give up because he shouldn't be 17 and still making kid's videos. These greedy parents deserve their downfalls for what they have done to Ryan. Pathetic😴.

I honestly wouldn't waste your time or money watching this movie! The storyline is so boring that my preschooler fell asleep about 20 minutes into the movie! The amination was Mid at BEST. The characters were all over the show and Ryan's parents were Horrible actors! In my opinion this movie was a complete waste of time and money. Ryan does not suit this type of movie. He is getting too old for this nonsense and his parents are extremely selfish for putting him through something like this. I must say, Ryan's sisters probably have a better chance in staring in a movie similar to this. In closing, this is very disappointing.

We had a fun rainy day family date at Ryan's World The Movie! We took my two kids - ages 2 years old and 5 years old. They both really enjoyed it! It was my 2 year olds first movie at the theater that he actually made it through happily. AMC reclining chairs were a bonus for Mom and Dad! My 5 year old didn't take her eyes off the screen the entire time. Combo Panda was a favorite character. I thought that Ryan and Aiden made a cute best friend duo. Great kids movie! The animation style was cool how it kept reminding you that we are in a comic. The music was cute and catchy. My daughter even requested to listen to the soundtrack afterwards!

I'm not understanding who thought this would be a good idea to release this YouTube quality embarrassment straight to theaters? Either this is some form of terrible money laundering attempt, an attempt to stay relevant or his parents legit need to be investigated for child explanation but either way, it was a massive failure with major monetary damages caused to this outdated "franchise" that had long run it's course. I would not recommend this, even for a free viewing event, for anyone. The plot is terrible and literally goes nowhere. The art direction and performance is beyond lacking in every feasible way possible.

This movie is so great, the acting may be terrible but those twins took the acting to the next level. The dad was wearing a bunny suit in one scene and that was just hilarious. Ryan's dad is one of the worst actors ever, but the, "Can I see?" line was amazing. At least we can't see the dad's greasy hair. But the best thing about this movie was the animation. Chef's kiss, the animation was great and the voice acting... Was subpar but the thing is I'm just a person on the interwebs, so see the movie yourself and see if its for you. As always, I'd like to sign off. Stay safe and avoid danger, AND DON'T SEE THE MOVIE JACK AND JILL. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!
Saw this in a theater of young kids who all loved it, mine included. It's like they're all celebrating a treasured icon of their childhoods, getting the chance to see him for the first time in a big screen production. Ryan takes on the mantle of protective sibling to his young twin sisters who literally fall into a comic book and are taken captive by an evil villain. The experience brings out the hero in Ryan, who transforms into a superheroic alter ego, Red Titan to save them. Parents of multiple children will appreciate how the movie inspires loyalty and camaraderie among siblings. I think it's an experience no family should miss.

I was hesitant because of the reviews. But it seems like everyone who wrote those reviews have never watched an anime in their lives. Those saying the voice over doesn't line up with the animation have literally never watched early 90s pokemon. It's just the style. My 5 year old couldn't keep her eyes off the screen and was very happy watching it! She has been watching Ryan's world since she was 2 and was very excited to hear about the movie. I love the animation style it's very nostalgic . Yeah the acting is cheesy but these people aren't actors they're YouTubers. I guarantee your kids will love this movie!

This film is obviously not ment for adults but for children to enjoy. I think adults are spoiled with watching kids films that usually have some adult humor. My 6 year old didn't care about the quality of acting or quality of visuals, she was enthusiastic about Ryan, the two sisters and the story. She gives it a 10 out of 10 therefore I do too. I naturally was critiquing things during the begining of the movie which took my attention away from enjoying it. Then I looked over to my daughter who usually falls asleep, had her eyes glued to the screen with a smile on her face. Then I remembered this movie is for her and the inner child in me. When I was six years old there were no movies like this and I believe I would have enjoyed it too.
