The soundtrack is due on August 16th
Republic Records: Kids & Family and Pocket.Watch announce the release of the official Ryan’s World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure Soundtrack on August 16th. The soundtrack will arrive in tandem with the much-anticipated new family movie Ryan’s World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure, which opens in theaters everywhere on the same day.
Heralding the impending release, vocal group Pentatonix has shared the lead single from the soundtrack, “Thunder.” Recorded specially for the album, their explosive cover by Imagine Dragons, takes flight on the group’s upbeat and undeniable a cappella harmonies, evoking the energy and spirit of Ryan’s World.
“Having grown our fan base on YouTube, we always will have a special place in our hearts for creators who work hard and make their dreams come true! To see Ryan heading to the big screen is really special, mind-blowing, and deserved! We are honored to be a part!” Pentatonix’s Scott Hoying says.
Ryan’s World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure makes history as the first-ever wide theatrical release of a digital-creator-driven movie, with a star-studded cast of wildly popular kids and family creators who have garnered over 207 million subscribers and over 204 billion lifetime views on YouTube. In this spirit, the filmmakers curated a soundtrack consisting of musical artists who established themselves as digital creators. The soundtrack notably features several tracks from Ryan’s World along with exclusive music from Qai Qai, Pentatonix, MusicClubKIds!, Toys and Colors, and more, who each initially made their mark online. Check out the full tracklisting below.
