Disney+ just released the newest trailer for Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw, the animated feature arriving December 5. The film adapts the third book in Jeff Kinney’s bestselling series and continues Greg Heffley’s misadventures as his dad pushes him to toughen up.
What’s New in This Trailer
The trailer highlights Greg’s growing frustration as he clashes with his dad’s big expectations. After a string of disasters, Greg is given an ultimatum — and a trip to a wilderness camp that may finally challenge his “wimpy” ways. The footage moves quickly, includes plenty of visual gags, and sets up a story that feels familiar yet fresh.
Returning to Greg Heffley’s World
The voice cast features:
- Aaron D. Harris as Greg Heffley
- Chris Diamantopoulos as Frank Heffley
- Erica Cerra as Susan Heffley
- Hunter Dillon as Rodrick
- Jude Zarzaur as Rowley
- Gracen Newton as Manny
These characters bring the humor and awkward charm that made the series so popular. The tone stays true to the books while expanding key moments for animation.
The Creative Team Behind the Movie
Jeff Kinney returns as writer and producer, ensuring the heart of the series remains intact. Matt Danner, known for Legend of the Three Caballeros, directs the new film with a style that blends slapstick humor and fast pacing.
Where This Fits in the Wimpy Kid Series
This is the fourth animated Wimpy Kid film for Disney+ after:
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021)
