Disney+ today launched the official trailer for the upcoming animated family comedy Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw. The film, adapted from the third installment of author Jeff Kinney’s worldwide bestselling book series, premieres exclusively on Disney+ on December 5, just in time for the holiday season.
The voice cast includes Aaron D. Harris (Matlock) as Greg Heffley, Chris Diamantopoulos (Invincible, Silicon Valley) as Greg’s dad, Frank, Erica Cerra (Nancy Drew, The 100) as Greg’s mom, Susan, Hunter Dillon (Riceboy Sleeps, The Spiderwick Chronicles) as Greg’s sarcastic older brother, Rodrick, Jude Zarzaur (The Chosen Adventures) as Greg’s best friend, Rowley, Gracen Newton (Robogobo, Disney Jr.’s Ariel) as Greg’s younger brother, Manny, Jill Basey (Pen15) as Greg’s neighbour, Mrs. Canfield, Bashir Salahuddin (South Side, The Dropout) as the Heffley’s condescending neighbour, Mr. Warren, and William Stanford Davis (Abbott Elementary, Ray Donovan) as Greg’s Boy Scout Troop Master Barrett.
The synopsis reads, “Greg continually finds himself at odds with his dad’s outsized expectations. As pressure builds to turn his act around after a series of hilarious near disasters, Greg’s dad presents him with an ultimatum—and a trip to wilderness camp—that just might challenge Greg’s wimpy ways for good.”
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw is the fourth animated feature adaptation of the popular book series to debut on Disney+ following Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021), Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2022), and Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever (2023).
