Directed by Matt Danner and written by Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw is a family animated film adapted from the third book in the famous children's series. Available exclusively on Disney+ from December 5, 2025, this new installment continues the franchise launched on the platform in 2021 with adventures centered on Greg Heffley and his family.
Greg tries to manage his father Frank's ever-increasing expectations. Between repeated blunders and narrowly avoided incidents, he sees the situation become increasingly tense until his father forces him to attend a survival camp in the wilderness. Faced with an unfamiliar environment, he must test his limits and prove that he can handle the pressure.
As the trials and tribulations continue, Greg seeks to confront his fears while preserving his relationship with his father. The plot explores his evolution within a family setting where everyone is trying to adapt, with the humor and excesses typical of the franchise.
According to Disney, this film is the fourth animated installment in the saga after Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021), Rodrick Rules (2022), and Christmas on the Rocks ( 2023). The original version features Aaron Harris, Chris Diamantopoulos, Erica Cerra, Hunter Dillon, Jude Zarzaur, Gracen Newton, Jill Basey, Bashir Salahuddin, and William Stanford Davis. Jeff Kinney wrote the screenplay and produced the film, extending the universe he created in literature. Director Matt Danner returns to Disney animation after The Legend of the Three Caballeros.
The tone of the film remains faithful to the spirit of the series, with humor focused on everyday situations, family awkwardness, and the challenges of childhood. The target audience is viewers of animated family comedies and readers of Jeff Kinney's books.
