History WesternAnimation / DiaryOfAWimpyKid

** The student population of Westmore Middle School is a lot more vicious than they were in the books or the live-action movies. In the books, while they could be mean occasionally, they mostly left Greg and Rowley alone unless something either [[TheFreelanceShameSquad really embarrassing]] or really cool happened to them. In this movie, they start shoving the main characters around almost as soon as they walk in the doors and seem to take every opportunity to bully them. In particular is their reaction to Greg's "Creighton the Cretin" comic strip that was changed by teachers to "Creighton the Curious Student"; in the book, they just didn't think it was funny, while in this movie, they start booing Greg and throwing food at him in the cafeteria, calling him a nerd and a teacher's pet.

* BrickJoke: When the teenagers confront Greg and Rowley in the woods they try to ruin their candy by getting it wet via spraying them with a fire extinguisher only for Rowley to block it with the shield on his costume. When they get home, Greg's dad douses them with water from the roof of the house, ruining the candy.

** Greg and Rowley exploiting Manny's CutenessProximity to get tons of Halloween candy? In the books, Rodrick did the same thing with Manny to sell chocolate for his school fundraiser.

* TruerToTheText: This version has Greg create Zoo Wee Mama along with Rowley just like in the book, while the live action film had Rowley fully come up with it, the Wizard of Oz play is mentioned to take place in winter like in the book, unlike the live-action film which had the play take place in spring, Abe Hall is the one to take the cheese touch with him unlike the live action film where it was instead a German exchange student named Dieter Muller, and it had much more involvement from Creator/Jeff Kinney, the author of the original books.

* AscendedExtra: The unnamed bully from the first book only occasionally appears in two of Greg's [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]]in the books. Here, he's a recurring, real antagonist who occasionally shows up to harass Greg (and, to a lesser extent, Rowley).

'''''Diary of a Wimpy Kid''''' is the AnimatedAdaptation of [[Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid the book series of the same name]] by Creator/JeffKinney. It was released to Creator/DisneyPlus on December 3, 2021, with animation production by Creator/BardelEntertainment.

!!Tropes:

** Posters for ''Tower of Druids'' and ''Net Kritterz'' (a graphic novel and a videogame, respectively, that are relevant to the plot in [[Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKidCabinFever the sixth book]]) are seen in Greg's room.

** The teenagers who force Rowley and Greg to eat the cheese are much crueler than in the original book, where Greg falsely states that he is lactose-intolerant and the teenagers [[EvenEvilHasStandards let him off]]. Here, even if Greg lies about being lactose-intolerant, the teenagers don’t let him off and force him to eat the cheese, until Mr Underwood. intervened.
