Based on Jeff Kinney’s hugely popular book series, the animated movies follows the continued riotous antics of angst-ridden, disaster-prone middle school student Greg Heffley; coming to the streamer in December.
Disney+ has released the trailer and key art for Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, a new 3DCG animated movie based on the second book in Jeff Kinney’s wildly popular book series. The original song from the film, “Can You Smell Us Now,” written and produced by Jon Levine, with lyrics by Jeff Kinney, and performed by Jimmy Tatro, is also available. The movie hits the streamer December 2.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules follows the continued riotous antics of angst-ridden, disaster-prone middle school student Greg Heffley, this time focusing on his complicated relationship with older brother Rodrick, a spikey-haired high school student. Rodrick is lazy and undisciplined and spends way too much time practicing with his rock band, Löded Diper. But, while he loves to torment Greg, he ultimately has a deep affection for his younger brother.
