Directed by Swinton O. Scott III, Diary of a Wimpy Kid delivers an animated movie filled with similar situations described in Jeff Kinney’s bestselling books. In this 56-minute movie, Greg Heffley, voiced by Brady Noon, enters middle school and potentially explosive problems and hazards to friendships.
Personified as a digital, bulbous boy, Heffley appears to stumble through misadventures with his buddy, Rowley, voiced by Ethan William Childress.

When a film school of her dreams accepts creative outsider Katie Mitchell, she’s eager to leave home and find “her people,” when her nature-loving dad insists on having the whole family drive her to school and bond during one last totally-not-awkward-or-forced road trip.

Co-written and co-directed by Mike Rianda and Jeff Rowe, the voice cast includes Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph and Olivia Coleman.
