Red Titan from Ryan’s World is flying into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade for 2020. Some viewers might be wondering who the character is, and we’ve got you covered here at Comicbook.com. Ryan from Ryan’s World is a very popular toy reviewer on YouTube, and the Red Titan is his alter-ego. How big a deal is this kid? Well, he has 40 million subscribers on the social media platform. (That is a staggering number, and it is still climbing.) Young Ryan will be the first YouTube creator to have the honor of being featured in the Thanksgiving holiday staple. NBC will play host to Macy’s parade and fans from all over will be tuning in to see the performances and their favorite characters as balloons. This year, Red Titan will be a newcomer along with Boss Baby. Pocket.watch is the studio that helps produce Ryan’s show, and they issued a statement with Macy’s.
