I returned to the Disney version of the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid franchise and was a bit sick.
So lets get one thing very clear, Greg is a good kid but also a fundamentally flawed one with his schemes often getting him into trouble, he is not the sort of kid to give away the present he most wants to help those in need, the idea was so American and sickening that I almost turned it off. This idea of the great moral virtuoso is fake kids don’t behave like that.
In addition this film above all others in the space made me hate current day animation and long to return to the two dimensional hand drawn kind of years prior. Everything about this was so ugly, the models how they moved around the space, the way they interacted with the environment, the environments themselves were hideous.
Moreover, Greg’s families personality was just one emotional state the entire film, there was no nuance or development for his family in anyway they started off the film one way and ended it the same.
Overall, this is some of the most soulless animation you might ever see.
1/5
Pros.
It is short
Cons.
The animation is ugly
It feels fake and overly moral
The family has no personality
It is not funny or relatable
