This is my first time looking at the story of Greg Heffley, so let’s see if this animated diary can be more than wimpy.

My First Diary of a Wimpy Kid Experience | The Disney+ 2021 Movie Review

This is my first time looking at the story of Greg Huffley, so let's see if this animated diary can be more than wimpy

If you think Greg is bad here, you haven't seen the books.

When it comes to my relationship with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, I have honestly never read any of the books and at most I’ve only seen the first 3 live action films. As for how this film is, I can at least say it does do it’s best to at least stay true to the original source material and be a faithful adaptation of the first book. As for how this compares to the movies, it basically has a very similar plot to the first Wimpy Kid live action movie. I can definitely tell they were at least trying to make this film as faithful to the first book as much as possible and I can see how fans of the book could enjoy it. Also it will be interesting to see if we will get animated films based on some of the other books in the series considering it’s been announced that we will be getting an animated Rodrick Rules movie. Also am I the only one who feels like Fregly looks like a skinny version of Carl from Jimmy Neutron?

As a longtime Diary of a Wimpy Kid fan myself, it looked okay. I wouldn’t say it best one version I seen although it looked ten times better the 4th movie installment of the disaster that people should obviously skip, but I say it harmless. I read all the way up to 9th book before I stop reading ever since I started high school. With the exception of the 4th movie, I seen all three films that has the original cast in theaters as in my middle school age and I find it a guilty pleasure to watch despite not age well and some gross out gags as well, but it worth watching for those that are facing problems of growing up during your childhood. For the animated film, I think the story structure is fine despite being too short, the animation doesn’t all that great compared to Captain Underpants and the Peanuts Movie, and characters okay despite seeing notable characters like Rodrick being sidelined or characters like Chirag Gupta and Patty Farrell being cut out of the film along with some plot points here and there that was in the book. Do I had a good time with it overall? Maybe. I think the live action films were more entertaining than the animated film but it looked fine for how it is.

For a second, I thought you were going to misunderstand the point of “Wimpy Kid” as a franchise. But while I cannot guarantee this film will satisfy the tastes of newcomers like yourself (especially with an unreliable narrator who’s essentially Charlie Brown with a hint of Holden Caulfield’s adolescent narcissism), I’m glad you gave it a chance and can at least say you had your “Wimpy Kid” dosage.

I honestly would loved to see how Patty would look like in this film’s animation style. And Chirag Gupta did appear in place of Collin Dean when Rowley finds a new best friend after his breakup with Greg.

Kenneth Stoddard

I actually didn’t know that about Gupta appearance in the 2021 film. Maybe because this film was slightly forgettable that I end up forgot which character made an appearance in that part.

Hunter O'Laughlin

As someone who is a fan of the books and saw the live-action films (except for The Long Haul. Thank God!) I thought it was a decent reboot to the franchise. Not as good as the live-action film as that adaptation covered a lot more of the plot points from the book. But I do understand they wanted to do something different than going through the same beats as the live-action film to differentiate itself from the latter and give it more of a refreshing look. I’m glad this was a way for you to be introduced to the franchise. Hopefully, it’ll get better once they get into the books that haven’t been adapted yet.

Hugo Segal

By the way, Greg’s last name is “Heffley.”

Hunter O'Laughlin

Well, maybe not 3D animation. But 2D animation would suit the series better. And the books are like snippets of cartoon strips stitched together to tell stories of Greg’s middle school life. The first book even has the tag line “a novel in cartoons”. And author Jeff Kinney was a cartoonist before becoming an author. So I do think the books lend themselves perfectly to animation.

Trenton Girone

I get that it’s emulating the book’s illustrations, but the live-action is better, from what I’ve seen.
