If you are a parent, there’s a very good chance Jeff Kinney has been part of your daily routine. The American author created and illustrated the wildly successful Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, which has expanded beyond Kinney’s original books to include live-action movies and animated adventures, the latest being Disney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever, available now if you have a Disney+ subscription. What I didn’t realize, as someone who read the Wimpy Kid books to my kids and watched the films over the years, is that making a Christmas movie brings the Wimpy Kid concept full circle. At least, that’s what Kinney told CinemaBlend.
