Ryan is based on the life of Ryan Larkin, a Canadian animator who, 30 years ago, produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. In the film, we hear the voices of prominent animators and artists discussing Ryan's work, and from waitresses, mission-house caretakers and homeless people who make up Ryan's life. These voices speak through strange, twisted, and disembodied, computer-generated characters--which combine to reflect the film's creator, Chris Landreth. In the words of Anais Nin, "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are."
Some strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.

Wow, the abstract reality of it is very deep. Creating great artistic works, working hard and pouring heart and soul into these creations only to be crapped on in some shape or form & ultimately ripped off or accused of ripping off someone else's work. Ultimately the utter insult and complete lack of appreciation can make someone so bitter that the only way they can think of to protect themselves is to stop creating, and this erodes their creative inner self til eventually there is nothing left.
I greatly dislike this attempt at the surreal; the animation is disturbing for the sake of being weird. It does have interesting moments (when showing and talking about traditional animation), but as far modern execution of computer animation goes, the quality of work is awfully lacking. This is a classic mistake of doing everything with a computer, layering too much crap just because it can technically be done. Those outside of the computer animation circle eat this drivel up.
it shouldn't make you sad....it should be viewed as an awakening. Most people in life are damaged goods trying to stay afloat emotionally and spiritually. Some succumb to their "demons", others rise above and persevere. This is life. We are reflections of one another at any given time, just in different circumstances.
when he tells the woman he still loves her, his face fills out, grows back, from this i surmise that although he probably had the vocals b4 starting animation like how creature comforts doit, it says the act of telling you love someone is a Pure act, unaffected by the world, it takes you out of time and space momentarily. rest of world no longer affects you. SO THE LOSS OF BODY PARTS SAYS HOW LIFE AND THE WORLD EATS AWAY AT YOU EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY AND MENTALLY UNTIL 1 DAY IT CONSUMES YOU

"but as far modern execution of computer animation goes, the quality of work is awfully lacking" OMG, we haver a critic speaking here.
Obviously you didn't get it, you should stick to Disney, since this work is a masterpiece.
You should leave Art alone, it isn't meant for you.
:S
