It’s a big day for the fans of Jeff Kinney’s popular book ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ as a new trailer for the animated movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules has been released by Disney+ on October 19, 2022. This will be the second animated movie in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and the sixth movie in the series including live-action films.
There had been a live-action movie with the same title which was released in the year 2011. The all-new movie will start streaming on December 2, 202 on Disney’s OTT platform Disney+.
About the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules
Directed by Luke Cormican and produced and written By Jeff Kinney, the movie follows the eventful adventurous middle-school life of Greg Heffley and his relationship with his lazy, disobedient elder brother Rodrick Heffley. The main focus of the movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules will be the relationship between the brothers and the bond that they share.
Even though Rodrick behaves like a bully to his younger brother, he loves Greg so much. The same is the case with Greg, he does not express the love he has for his elder brother. Greg’s childhood friend and his classmate Rowley also play an important role in the movie.
What’s In The New Trailer?
The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules trailer which was released by Disney is one minute and thirty-seven seconds long. The trailer starts by showing the parents, both Susan Heffley and Frank Heffley leaving the house for a weekend trip.
The boys are not taken along owing to a public fight between the two, which had become a serious issue to their parents. The boys are left alone so that they could talk and figure out a way to resolve their issues and learn a lesson.
The elder brother looks at this as a chance to take the younger brother under his wing and teach him some new ‘stuff’. The title of the movie comes into play here, when Rodrick tells Greg about the rules that Greg will have to follow for the rest of the days, starting with the first rule which is “No apostrophes or any other nerd stuff.” Rodrick tells Greg that he only gets one rule per week, funny enough, that rule is broken instantly.
The all-new trailer features many events from the movie – the ones which can be easily understood by the fans of the book or the live-action movie. It features a band of Rodrick which is called The Loaded Diaper and also the massive hilarious house party that Rodrick hosts at their house.
The trailer also gives glimpses of the scenes featuring the old age home where their grandpa lives and ends on a sweet final scene where the brothers are seen sharing a happy moment and vouch that they’ve got each other’s back, no matter what.
