1:47 I did not say that dude stop no stop dude no

[ShortHax]

In my opinion, they should have animated the entire movie with the original line drawings

[eternallyconfusedneveraware]

The most groundbreaking thing about this movie seems to be instead of a soulless live action Disney remake, it's a soulless animated Disney remake. Which is arguably more insulting.

[cblrstoneytp]

can we just talk about how susan's mic recording quality sounded like it was from a zoom call for 99% of the movie

[daxratbone]

to see the series adapted in this style feels so wrong. The reason the characters look the way they do in the books is because that's how Greg draws them in his diaries, they're drawn to the best of his abilities. His style exaggerates certain features on characters to make them stand out and help boost their depicted personalities. You weren't supposed to believe that's what the characters *actually* looked like. And now that they do in this movie it just feels wrong. Why even have the diary part if that's just his life. Is Greg drawing people picture perfect in his diary now? lmao

[ocras_zeghn]

I just have to point this out: every female character in the movie has earrings, all of them. It's kinda hard to miss and bothered me the whole time for some reason.

[FletcherReedsRandomness]

As much as we make jokes about "lol Greg's a sociopath", that's what makes him such a unique protagonist for a children's book series. Removing Greg's jerkassery removes the series of a big chunk of its identity, and it makes this movie feel more like a typical middle school movie than it should. I had this issue with the live-action versions of Rodrick Rules and Dog Days (he's still a big jerk in the first live-action movie), but it feels especially noticeable here.

[slashbash]

To be honest, I'm surprised eating the cheese didn't actually kill Rowley.

I think the problem is that they keep trying to make Greg a timeless character. The best thing about the og movie trilogy is the growth and it ended where it should have, it’s a solid trilogy. Besides the animation being unflattering and unfinished looking, I think live action works better because the books have off the vibe that you were reading a real kid’s diary

[infernamus]

my eight-year-old brother was really excited about this because he recently started reading the books. about fifteen minutes into the movie he turned it off and went do something else. he said it was boring.

[Ra_aradnE]

That rare moment when the live action adaptation has more heart and emotion than an animated one.

[robmctavish]

It's definitely the eyebrows. They're so important for making animated characters to portray emotions. Just look at grommit from Wallace and Gromit!

[comicbookreviewer]

I would say well the original live action films wren't perfect at least they took time to show Greg realize his mistakes or at times learn to become a better person when he try to make things right and had time to show us the cast and the world of the Wimpy kid

[confusedcabal]

It looks insanely bland compared to the originals, almost as if they had forgotten to finish rendering it.

[forreal]

The more movies made about diary of a wimpy kid after the first few make me realize how damn good the dad was played. What a god tier actor

[flossiebell]

4:14 "how are you making animation more boring than real life?"
Gosh, you put it into words. Animation is a way of storytelling that can do things that live action cannot. It can be pushed so much further. And looking at the movie without even watching it, I still felt like the live action was somehow better than this.

[TheAdamChaney]

I might’ve liked it if they made the whole movie in black and white like the pages of the books. It probably would’ve got boring to look at after a while though.

[commandonate]

First we had “Not my Rodrick” now we have “Not my Greg” it has come full circle

[TheAdamChaney]

I jumped to the ending when Greg and Rowley make up and it didn’t have that same emotion and warm feel that the original movie had.

[r.jjones]

Im an animation student right, and the literal ground rule of animation is “make the animation break reality rules in an real way” basically saying to give your characters a way to feel animated and invested and like they are popping out of the screen but make it believable. This movies (I saw a couples days ago) just sits there and gives it a dead vibe. Like they kept to in touch with reality. Almost giving it like an informational vibe instead of the light hearted comedy. Anyways I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who was disappointed with it. Loved the video tho great job😁
