Ryan is a 2004 Oscar-winning animated documentary by Chris Landreth about the influential Canadian animator Ryan Larkin, who in later years lived on skid row in Montreal following a history of drug and alcohol abuse.
Co-produced by Copper Heart Entertainment and the National Film Board of Canada, Ryan is an animated interpretation of an actual interview with Larkin, conducted by the film's director. Excerpts from Ryan also appear in the NFB co-produced documentary Alter Egos, directed by Laurence Green.
Ryan won the 2004 Academy Award for Animated Short Film and the 25th Genie Award for Best Animated Short. The film was also very well received at the Cannes, Venice, Sundance and Toronto film festivals.
Director Landreth was also nominated for an Academy Award in 1995 for The End.
