The best new movies and shows on Disney+ in December

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2. December)

Geeky sixth grader Greg Heffley is back for the second or sixth time, depending on how you count. This is the second animated Diary of a Wimpy Kid film and the sixth overall, following four live action films and an animated reboot, which came out last year. It’s the other one Rodrick rules film. The first live-action version came out in 2011, but they are both based on the second book in author and cartoonist Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid children’s novel series. This is all to say that Diary of a Wimpy Kid is quietly one of the most successful franchises out there. Rodrick rules is about Greg’s difficult relationship with his domineering older brother, Rodrick. [Trailer]

National Treasure: Edge of History (December 14)

The family-friendly adventure series returns 15 years after the last film for a series about a new character – a DREAMer named Jess Valenzuela (Lisette Olivera) who discovers some extraordinary secrets about her family – and a new mission to obtain a priceless historical object. Nicolas Cage is absent, but Harvey Keitel and Justin Bartha return, joined by Catherine Zeta-Jones as a black market billionaire. [Trailer]

If these walls could sing (December 16)

After the success of last year’s successful documentary The Beatles: Come BackDisney+ returns to similar territory with If these walls could sing, a documentary about the legendary Abbey Road recording studio. The studio is best known for its association with the Beatles, but it is also where Pink Floyd, Elton John, Oasis and countless others have recorded their classic songs. Paul and Ringo are of course interviewed (the film is directed by Paul’s daughter Mary McCartney), along with Sir Elton, Roger Waters, John Williams and many more. [Trailer]
