Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a wildly successful book series written by Jeff Kinney that was first published in 2007.

The demand for novels to be translated into film adaptations is on the rise. Disney+ was tapped to be the home of the animated version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, the second book in the series. This film follows a similar path to the live-action version that was released in 2011 and starred Zachary Gordon (Dead of Summer) and Devon Bostick (The 100) in the lead roles.
