We cannot get enough of Jeff Kinney here at the London Mums HQ! He simply too good and funny and he is one of the most popular authors for our children, with no exceptions. You may recall my son’s chat with Jeff last Spring for the release of Diary of a Wimpy Kid – The Long Haul movie, one of the funniest films of 2017. Now Jeff is back and is promoting the DVD. Here is what he had to say about the inspiration behind The Long Haul because he is very much involved in the movie business too.

Brace yourself as the new Thor: Ragnarok movie is very different from anything you have seen before. Think The Avengers meets Guardians of the Galaxy, but bolder, funnier and more parodic. Thor-some! It’s more for kids than any previous Thor film and will appeal to new audiences thanks to the comedic factor.
Mums will love to see Chris Hemsworth’s big muscles flying on the big screen as well as Britain’s beloved star Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as Thor’s nasty but now wittier brother Loki. Thor: Ragnarok has an all-star cast including Cate Blanchett, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, Karl Urban, Mark Ruffalo and Anthony Hopkins.
