Diary of a Wimpy Kid is no stranger to film adaptations, however the recent ones on Disney+ have left much to be desired and are vastly inferior to nearly everything that came before.

To be fair, Greg portraying himself in his diary as an innocent victim of society instead of Elliot Rodger would actually make him even more of a sociopath/unreliable narrator in my opinion.
That's how it is in the books. In the original Cabin Fever Book. Greg and Rowley tried to make their own Holiday Bazaar. They put up green posters at the school, it rained, and left a green stain. The school mistook it for graffiti.
Ye
That's what made the series so good! And the live-action movies too since Greg was still a sociopath! The animated movie made him likeable XD I love how this is a bad thing for Wimpy Kid fans
No. Please do not compare him to that "Gentleman" Killer. Nowhere near look alike

How Disney somehow made Greg Heffley into a generic likable protagonist was an immediate red flag for these films.
1) Jeff Kinney wrote these movies 2) Try actually reading the books the internet loves to over-exaggerate how bad Greg is and how he is a sociopath. He is selfish and egotistical but always well-meaning. He does take advantage of Rowley though 3) In a lot of the books he doesn't really do anything bad that. He did nothing bad in Long Haul, Wrecking Ball, Big Shot, No Brainer, The Deep End, etc.
@@icecreamhero2375 1) jeff kinney is a hack and you know it 2) you are acting like he doesn't regularly exhibit 8 out of the 9 traits commonly associated with sociopathy 3) kinney trying to pretend the past never happened does not erase past sins

I feel like Captain Underpants was a great example of how to turn a kid's book/comic series into a 3D animated movie incredibly well.
I thought they were gonna make multiple movies, they made “The first epic movie” Though they probably meant, first time a captain underpants movie was made

@@justanothermortal1373In my opinion, it was great
Jeff: "Greg being interpreted as a sociopath was a mistake" No Jeff, that's WHY we loved these books. Imagine if _It's Always Sunny_ or _Seinfeld_ had traditionally likable characters.

Shame, since the original teaser for Disney’s Diary of A Wimpy Kid had real promising animation like the Peanuts film, unfortunately it was changed to your average CG animation.
Captain Underpants is honestly a good movie based on a book series compared to this Wimpy Kid trilogy.
It got me so excited until they released it not only was it the book copy paste but the actual animations were ugly and jarring
Reminds me about Wish backpedalling on the painted look.. interesting.
@@amesstarline5482 Come again?
@@amesstarline5482come again?or come again?
In my opinion, this adaptation should’ve just been a 2D animated series that followed the book’s mean spirited tone more than even the movies did and just let it be a kid friendly Always Sunny in Philadelphia
“Kid friendly Always Sunny in Philadelphia” That’s perfect
A 2d animated version would have been way cooler actually, manny is way too cursed in 3d
Wouldn't it be too unpleasant to watch then?
You know Disney is allergic to 2D animation
What Wimpy Kid books were you reading? They were never meanspirited. People love to exaggerate how much of a jerk Greg is on the internet sometimes. Greg can be selfish and egotistical but there is an innocence to him. Also in a lot of the gags in the books, he is more of an unfortunate victim of circumstance. In one of my favorite gags in Rodrick Rules Greg was on the swim team. He thought the starter pistol was a real gun so he hid at the bottom of the pool. The Wimpy Kid books are filled with all sorts of things like that.
0:40 Unrelated, but Susan shaming her kid for having basic teenager impulses is probably one of the most realistic moments in the entire series lol.
But "Rodrick being a misogynist" without any context is absolutely hilarious.
@@reddwarfffEven *in* context, like, when you actually read the book or watch the movie, it's pretty funny. It's like the opening of the Justice League Unlimited season 2 episode The Doomsday Sanction.

I'm glad you've acknowledged The Peanuts Movie when talking about stylized animated movies. Very underrated one that more people should watch
Agree, really enjoyed that movie as a kid
Still one I watch monthly. I remember loving watching Peanuts specials when I was young and when I saw this film in theaters, EVERYONE was having fun. Great film!
That movie is really good and underrated.
it feels just like those original shorts to. highly recomend it.
Being a peanuts fan, I loved the movie
The rare time you can say the live action films are superior than the animations. We don't talk about Long Haul.
The long haul is better than these films and that was one of the worst thing I ever watched it was at least laughably bad
Yeah. I bought the Long Haul and I watched it only ONCE.

I cant believe Disney took out Greg's manifesto on how to get famous quick. That took out good portion of the movie.
nice peacewalker pfp
allaho akbar
Just warning you as someone who has kept up with the books, they double down on the more “cartoonish” antics to the point where they have a pet pig that walks on two legs wearing pants, and it barely focuses on Greg and his relationships with any other charecters and more focused on the spectacle of the situation where Greg himself is an onlooker more then anything.
The new book is stupid and completely unrealistic
it's why I've fallen out of love with the series, it started getting... unrealistic to put it mildly. Introducing the pig was a huge mistake, combined with Manny just somehow learning enough spanish to talk some guys into going back to the zoo to pick up the pig, and it's just like "what am I even reading anymore". There's more to it, but I don't feel like cracking open the book again to check. on some level, DoaWK was relatable early on, but now, it's just insanity trying to pretend it's still the same series it once was
I don't remember the pig being prevalent in the past few books though.
I can't stress how much I despise that damn pig-- since its introduction it's done nothing but piss me off. Every scene it's in or every plot revolving around it just feels like a painful slog to get through. It's the worst thing to happen to the books in my opinion, just removing any sense of realism from the series with this ugly infuriating side character that does nothing but cause problems in the books. The Meltdown is the last one I read, but honestly everything after The Long Haul isn't very memorable (even Hard Luck was lacking).
I will admit that I really liked The Long Haul book, mostly because the cartoony tone and absurd situations (with the seagull scene being a personal favorite of mine) gave me some good laughs as a fan of Looney Tunes style comedy. It was certainly a bit too different to the point where I sometimes wondered if this was a soft reboot, but I had a good time still, and it even gave me hope for future installments. Although sadly the next two books didn’t really grab me, so that’s where I stopped sadly
0:45 Hard Luck was actually the last book of the original continuity, The Long Haul soft-rebooted the series, which is why the continuity after it became so scattered and older character stopped showing up.
Older characters showed up in No Brainer and Big Shot.
@@icecreamhero2375Then it makes even less sense.
Interesting info
Hard Luck is probably the last time the series felt sane. TLH felt like the series went from the life of a typical kid (if exaggerated somewhat) to a fever dream inserting weird stuff into the day to day life.
Jeff Kinney should have just upgraded Greg to high school after that book. It's getting kind of tiring that the Wimpy Kid world is stuck in middle school. It would be interesting to see Greg mature and change.
Original live action actually made me like Greg and rodrick
Me too didn't really care much for the sequel movies.
@@Dking1998but Roderick Rules was the best one 😢
@@Dking1998Roderick Rules was the best one and you know it
@@Dking1998I haven't seen the movies in a hot minute, and I've never read the books in many more years since (in fact, I actually used to have copies of the first 8 books, but I've since donated them), but I actually think they get better as the franchise progresses, and it makes me wish we got a proper 4th film in 2013 or 2014 instead of taking a 5-year break and aging down the characters like we got with The Long Haul.
I still hate Greg, even in the new book
Arthur Christmas was criminally underrated and I’m glad you mentioned it (even in passing).
It's a good movie I recommend it.
Oh my god, I loved Arthur Christmas so much as a kid, to the point I’d watch it pretty much everyday, even during the summer. My parents owned a DVD of it. I would honestly love to watch it again, being older and being able to understand much more, because I was like 5 when I watched it originally.
The DOAW Kid triology that disney made give me cgi kids movie based of PBS kids series vibes like that cgi Arthurs pal movie for example
Yeah, I just had to watch it so many times as a kid that I grew sick to death of it, but I would definitely rewatch it in a heartbeat now
Overrated*
How could Disney screw a adaptation up. Why did they change the art from the first sneak peak trailer?
kzhead.info/sun/oJdwd5FobZuYdI0/bejne.htmlsi=mQIQM2SxqF8SYbIW
Cause it costs money
Idk they probably found it too hard to animate or whatever the hell they said about Wish
@@viralvoleisapogchampguy170 billion dollar company.
probably buget reasons (or the trailer was simply a concept idea for a half hour special)
I remember the day the first film came out, I watched the first 10 minutes of it and was like “that was pretty good I’ll watch the rest later” and then proceeded to forget about it for the next 2 years.
Same😂😂
You didn't miss much
Something about the original movies is that they actually took the opportunity of the actors growing up and realized they could only make a few so they decided to give greg a character arc something the books cant do since they are made to go on forever its honestly pretty interesting and allowed the original movies to stand apart from the books as somewhat of their own story something the animated ones dont do
The original version of the wimpy kid books (which was a 1200 page online book) also had a proper character arc and conclusion, because unlike the print books, the online version actually had a conclusion which wrapped the story up quite nicely.
@@swift4593The only downside to the online book is that it leaves some arcs unresolved such as Susan going back to school and Greg and his dad and brothers trying to help around the house by doing her usual job like making lunches and helping with homework, which is found in The Ugly Truth, and then that subplot disappears and I wonder what was even the point of it if it doesn’t conclude. At least The Ugly Truth fixes that issue by concluding it with Susan stating she finished her first year.
How did they mess this up? There's literally a written and live action blueprint. I thought the entire point of the books was Greg is a self-centered asshole, but he's still got a good heart and (eventually) does the right thing. All of his problems usually stem from his own actions. He isn't good. He isn't evil. He's just a kid that needs a lotta therapy.
Finally someone who doesn't call him a Sociopath I feel like the people who call him a Sociopath secretly hate the series
@@SMCwasTaken I mean I wouldn't say THAT but I agree, the internet is not immune to flanderization and they've blown the psychopath thing out of proportion
@@SMCwasTakenagreed. I love the books and ive never seen him as that bad. Like he has issues but he isnt a bad person.
@@SMCwasTaken yeah people call him a sociopath, but I've always felt he was perfectly believeable middle school kid
@@SMCwasTakenI feel like these people just love to label stuff, no matter what it is. 'Greg is a self-centered kid' so that means he's a sociopath is usually their way of thinking.
They were originally going to make a Wimpy Kid tv series. Really, they should’ve stuck to that plan.
I liked the 3D but, the catch form the 3D doesn't match with them, if they really want 3D, they should atleast make a new style
@@Multiversodosjogos2023i don’t understand why they didn’t do 2D in a style of Amazing World of Gumball. You know, have the characters be animated in notebook paper cutout style with real life background kind of how some scenes that the first three original movies had if you know what I’m talking about.
The reason the Live-action trilogy's cast worked so well in my eyes is that, in the book detailing the production process in the first movie, the actors got time to hang out during production in a way that wasn't too overbearing on the cast. The most notable one is when the producers wanted to see how the actors of the Heffley family would work together, so they let them have a bowling night. Which is a great way to gain natural chemistry since bowling is something everyone could do. While the voice actors for the animated trilogy are there, they lack any offscreen and personal chemistry that the live action actors had big time.
Let’s all agree that what Disney did with Diary of A Wimpy Kid doesn’t exist due to how terrible Disney is
I mainly blame Jeff Kinney, the creator of the franchise, for this. He was the one who wrote the screenplay for The Long Haul and these animated movies. Why remake the first 2 movies, what was wrong with them?! Nothing! They should have continued where Dog Days left off.
I’m willing to believe it’s possible Jeff Kinney was told he could only write a script that was an hour long for the first movie. Animation costs money and Disney purportedly did not shell out a lot for the first movie
@@lemonlordminecraft it still doesn't excuse the weak adaptation of the book tbh since it could be so much better
@@board-qu9iuit could also be that Disney executives actually told him that he couldn’t do a bunch of things
@@OmiReal Well it's not mentioned by him at all and it's odd if it did occur and he just stayed silent (I think the issue seems to be that he is not used to a 3 act structure of story telling)
You know you messed up when the company making an animated movie based off of a beloved franchise is also the same company that got its movie that was supposed to be good for its 100 years of being a company beaten by a Netflix Adam Sandler film where he plays a school lizard who gives advice to children.
As someone who has all of the Diary of A wimpy kid books, I know how you feel. I remember watching the live action movies and they were better that the 3D ones

@@PonandCon9025 yea
this trilogy looks like three middle schoolers just shat something out for a school project like there are actual middle school projects that look better than this corporate poop
I am not convinced Kinney had that much creative control. The movies are already too short to have everything from the books in them, but it is also a very Disney thing to cut out stuff that's actually interesting, making the protagonist unambiguously the good guy, using school drama clichés, etc.

I find it so weird, hilarious, and sad that the only good DOAWK adaptions (the first three live-action movies) are all written by several different writers. But the Long Haul and Disney movies, those are straight from Jeff Kinney himself. Random writers somehow had a better understanding of the plots in the book, how the characters were portrayed, and how to add nuance to certain scenes that the books lacked better than the guy who made the source material.
The holiday bazaar has a truly selfless moment with Greg, where he takes the blame for accidentally grafiitiing the school and doesn't get Rowley in trouble. Shame they cut it, especially when they're trying to make Greg a better person
right, considering that Rowley was the one that exposed them and didn’t even bother writing his own name down
@@anthonywinebarger He's dumb
5:36 this is the most emotion I've heard from Cartoonshi. Don't get me wrong, I love his monotone... tone, it helps to keep one concentrated on the narration, but this little yelling was something I wasn't expecting and I liked it
one thing i remember hearing about the original live action movies is that they made a huge effort to be timeless. with the exception of rodrick singing baby, there arent really that many 2010s references in the films, and thats probably one of the main reasons theyve aged so well
calling greg "middle school Napoleon" is probably the most accurate description ive seen in a review video
Honestly 2D would’ve made this look far better, since certain characters look absolutely horrible in 3-D well others aren’t bad looking.🐱
While I haven't read the books in a long time, I feel like this is a series that would work better in an episodic format.
The show wouldn’t progally make sense, they can’t base it off all the books since the series is ovb gonna be short and would probally get updated once a year since he still makes videos
I feel like what they should have done is have a cabin fever combined with ugly truth similar to how the live action trilogy (Long haul isn’t canon) was with Dog Days and Rodrick Rules. What I mean is those books combined each other with the Last Straw while also taking creative liberties to help Greg grow as a person. And to be fair, Kinney did decide to take some creative liberties with Cabin Fever, but the major difference is he just seemed to change it up for the sake of it and Greg didn’t seem to learn anything, whereas the changes in the original trilogy they helped Greg develop as a character and became a changed person at the end. I guess Kinney and Disney are merely just adapting all the books and not having Greg grow at all, and if that’s what they want to do, fine I guess, but it’s not going to stop people from loving the original Wimpy trilogy more.
At this point, just leave the franchise alone. But Disney is going to do their best to ruin it when it touches other IPs.
Jeff Kinney wrote the movie. I think they did things differently because the books are more a collection of gags than a plot and they thought doing the same thing twice would be boring.
@@icecreamhero2375They could have just not made it shit.
@@_V.Va_ I thought it was fine. Some things were changed around from the books but it was still entertaining. Especially Rodrick when Rodrick tried to use potatoes to power the doorbell cam.

The first 3 live action movies were very charming. This trilogy however? Not even close. If it had better animation and focus then they'd be less criticized but, oh well, can't have everything I guess.

On a different note, I always thought that the hair in the animated doawk movies made the characters (especially rowley) look like those play-doh hair salon toys that you pushed a stick through to get some spaghetti-like play-doh to come out the top to resemble hair
Honestly, after closely examining Zoo-Wee Mama, I can definitely see why many call it a masterpiece of literature. Unfortunately, the Date strip of the comic is a bit bloated in the middle, i think with an extra box it could’ve been less bloated, but regardless, it is still an incredible, yet flawed piece of artwork
When the Live Action movies (except Long Haul) are more better than an animated version of the adaptations, then you know that you’ve messed up, BIG TIME.
1:47 "It was also released around the same time I developed depression as a 12 year old" ...Oh gods I'm so old.

@@jaxsterminator8634the books are better cry baby.
This is the only example I can think of where following the source material has actually been negative. I guess the live action movies (not the 4) and The Boys taught me that there are some benefits of making changes for the adaptation
Rodricks actor was the absolute best thing in the original trilogy he just made the character
I remember the grandfather telling Greg to enjoy his kid days (dunno if it was specifically like that, I read a local translation). It stuck with me for a while and I do remember it fondly. I loved the first two books to death, really an awesome time reading them.
To end Disney’s 100 anniversary celebration, we get! A lame Christmas special to a properly they own and didn’t even originally create, that came from a now increasing line of cheap direct to Disney plus films with no soul or heart of the original source material. Sounds about right!
Not really
I'm getting strong JK Rowling vibes from Jeff Kinney now, the way he's going back and changing everything to make it "better" but instead making it worse

The films would much more visibly appealing and lively if the characters moved at a slower or jerkier frame rate like the Big Nate cartoon. The smooth, lifeless animation style doesn’t fit them or their world at all.
disney never fails to disappoint us
I'm still just _barely_ getting over the fact that they made them all flesh colored, honestly.
Sweet new video also I didn’t think you will cover this but nice
Peanuts Movie is My Favorite Blue Sky Movie, and one of my Favorite 3D animated Films, and these Movies could've been on the same level as that, and then they were just okay
the reason the animation looks so shitty is because the wimpy kid characters are DESIGNED to look bad, like a lazy 13 yead ol drew them. That kind of intentionally shitty looking style doesn't translate well to CGI, where everything HAS to be smooth and have lots of detail.

“they’re not good movies or anything” unironically the best film trilogy i have ever seen. i am being 100% genuine rn.
Rodrick was my first childhood crush ever, and to see him massacred in the first movie was genuinely heartbreaking
What I find strange about Greg is that he's in middle school and still believes in Santa.
The live action trilogy was amazing the cast all got along well and each film is focusing on a relationship in Greg's like but also giving him character development by the end he really did grow up. The fist film is about Greg becoming a better Friend to Rowley, the 2nd film is him being a better brother with rodrick and the 3rd is very much about his relationship with his dad. There is somthing very special about those films
Man I really wish they used the same style they did in the teaser. Like wtf happened?? 😂
I will say that Cabin Fever has been a book that Kenny has wanted to adapt for a long time You referenced how before the first animated movie it was gonna be a Christmas special That was it Tho it was orignally going to be live action before the long haul bombed, then it was going to be an animated special to air on tv channels like abc or cbs but then the project was shelved after Disney bought Fox then the project was going to go to disney+ before it was decided to try and just do a tv show before deciding to just adapt the first book again So it does make a bit more sense why Cabin Fever came next considering it was something Jeff's wanted to do for so long
I think they did Cabin fever and now there gonna go backward which is gonna make some werid continuity

Man I know some franchises(like Scooby Doo,Super Mario Bros,Garfield) are replacing live action movies with 100% 3D animated movies because to make it more familiar than weird looking 3d characters like that one with ugly Sonic.I think it will take another 10 or 20 years to make replacing live-action with CGI movie for next decade Sonic movie.
I’m glad I never seen the Disney version of Dairy of a wimpy kid. I used to read them a lot of couple of years ago when I was like 10-12 ( now 15) and while I never gotten the deeper meaning of the stories. I still enjoy it and even the first three live actions movie till this day

honestly i have high hopes for these movies tho, since each one is getting better
I liked the getaway, though it was kinda “wacky” (actually the heffleys do a crime and become fugitives so it i guess it was VERY wacky)
Okay why does that Rowley album cover at 3:50 go so hard
I'm kind of glad they at least made cabin fever a bit more holiday moral then the original book. And I'm especially glad they kept him shoveling the soup kitchen act (even if it was changed as to why he did it) But leaving out the school stuff was dumb. I got some good chuckles from the bazaar plotline
