The film is rated 6+ on Disney+

It's the time of year that's perfect for gathering in your little (or not-so-little) ones, snuggling on the sofa and watching a good, wholesome film together as a family.

However, parents have been warned about a new film just released on Disney+ that might have youngsters asking some suspicious questions.

There have been calls on social media for Disney+ to remove the new 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever' film after some have alleged that it ruins the magic of Christmas.

In the animated film, the lead character Greg Heffley is warned by his mum that he must be on his best behaviour in the lead-up to Christmas. He finds the gift that he has asked Santa for - a 'MegaStation' - hidden in the linen closet, and then receives the same gift on Christmas Day (which he ultimately donates to a boy in need.)

However, despite the message of generosity, the film - which is rated 6+ - has been slammed by parents as some kids have understandably been asking questions.
