Disney reveals the Diary of a Wimpy Kid animated film is becoming a franchise with the release of two new posters. Penned by cartoonist Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid are the journals of a teenager Greg Heffley, who stocks up the pages with simple drawings, silly adventures, and his point of view of challenges he faces a middle school. Released in 2004, Diary of a Wimpy Kid became a literary success and was adapted into a film that starred Zachary Gordan as Greg. Last year, Disney+ announced that the popular young adult series was getting a new animated adaption.
During Disney+ Day announcements, the streaming survive unveiled the new poster for Diary of a Wimpy Kid and revealed Diary of Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is a second animated film that will expand the franchise. Slated to debut exclusively on Disney+ on December 3, Diary of a Wimpy Kid will be set in 3D animated style, nodding to creator Kinney’s original series. Rodrick Rules, which is Kinney’s second book in the series, is expected to release on Disney+ in 2022. Check out the new posters below:
The 3D animated adventure of Diary of a Wimpy Kid will arrive on Disney+ at the height of the holiday season. Directed by Swinton Scott, Diary of a Wimpy Kid will join the live-action films already available on Disney+. Of course, for fans of the series, the reveal of Rodrick Rules is an exciting development and could mean Disney plans on adapting Kinney’s novels for years to come. Greg Heffley in 3D animation form, with his spindly arms and cheese touch joke, will offer a fresh take on the pages from Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
