Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021) is an animated family film you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Swinton O. Scott III for Disney+, it's the first fully animated adaptation of Jeff Kinney's bestselling book series. Brady Noon and Ethan William Childress voice Greg and Rowley.

Greg Heffley enters middle school armed with big ambitions and almost no social skills. He wants fame, popularity, maybe a spot at the cool kids' table. What he gets instead is a parade of small disasters, a best friend who doesn't share his priorities, and a journal that documents the gap between who he thinks he is and what actually happens.

The animation keeps Kinney's original stick-figure aesthetic, which is a smart call — it gives the whole thing a handmade, kid-drawn quality that live-action couldn't pull off. Younger viewers will recognize the awkwardness immediately. Stream Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021) online on iFILM.
