Man: In Search of Ryan Larkin that although Larkin did not change because of the new-found attention, that "by knowing him, he seems to trigger change in others". In the book The Animation Pimp, Robinson states that he "quit drinking and started to make amends for the swamp of a life I created" after his few meetings with Larkin. The eleven Seneca College students who were responsible for the animation of Ryan all found employment in the animation industry. Landreth received offers to produce feature films, but rejected them to create another animated short film, The Spine, which was released in 2009 and used the same production team and psychological realism technique that was used in Ryan. The software model created for the production of Ryan was the basis for a Master of Science thesis by Patrick Coleman. Ryan is considered to be one of the high-profile examples of animated documentary. It was screened at the Ontario Science Centre in November 2005, during which the Body Worlds exhibit was on display. The film Alter Egos was commissioned by the NFB to document the making of Ryan, and includes interviews with Landreth, Larkin, and others.
