Disney+ released a trailer Tuesday for the animated film Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: The Getaway. The movie is scheduled to premiere on the streaming platform on December 4.
The plot centers on Greg Heffley and his family traveling to an all-inclusive resort in Isla de Corales. Greg anticipates trouble, and his fears are realized when a spider crawls on his head and fish swarm him. The family becomes fugitives after shutting down the pool and stealing clothes from other guests.
Jacob Isaac Peterson returns as the voice of Greg Heffley. Chris Diamantopoulos and Erica Cerra reprise their roles as Frank and Susan Heffley. Hunter Dillon voices Rodrick, while Gracen Newton voices Manny. Jude Zarzaur provides the voice for Rowley Jefferson.
New cast members include Fred Armisen as the Director of Fun and Beau Bridges as Captain Stubbard. Jeff Hiller voices a first-class flight attendant, and Keyla Monterroso Mejia voices the receptionist.
Jeff Kinney, the author of the best-selling book series, wrote and produced the film. Matt Danner directed the project. Viewers can stream the previous Diary of a Wimpy Kid titles on Disney+ before the new release.
The Walt Disney Company operates Disney+ and is the parent company of the local ABC station.
