Synopsis

**Greg worries about getting possessed by a person from Medieval france, At the Jefferson's house, Greg is here to read Rowley a Bedtime story, and Greg Calls it, Greg Heffley's Awesome Wimpy Adventure**
Long ago. There lived a boy named Greg who lived in a time where television, video Games, phones, or Supermarkets weren't invented but his parents thought it was important for him to get entertainment and learn to play an instrument, or being a Pigkeeper so they made him practice the flute. It was a dangerous time so Greg's parents wanted him to stay inside, especially at midnight but Greg wishes he could go on adventures like his great grandpa Harry once did. But he didn't always wear his helmet and got hit in the head once time and was never heard from again.
But suddenly Patty Farrell and the Vikings took over the village, and makes every single Villager to live in Extreme poverty
One day Greg woke up early to practice the flute, and saw that it was snowing in the middle of the summer and ran into Roland's house. He asks Roland, his best friend, who told him that his mom was kidnapped by the White Warlock. Because he was very worried that his dad will be disappointed in him after he gets back from his trip, he and Roland decided to go and save Roland's mom on their own. they get put on Bampy's weapons and begins their journey.
**Rowley told Greg that he felt bad about the Villagers, he told Greg that he went to a unnamed contury with him and his family (except Manny) while driving to a unnamed state, they see many people with no money and no food to eat, Rowley told Greg, if there is Buses or Dinosaurs in the story, and Greg said "Yes" and the story continues**
During their quest, they met Manny the Dinosaur and Elliot the Bus, Manny the Dinosaur told Greg and Roland that he is a famous television star in Germany, many companies make DVDs Plushies and Toys, and the Series was called, "Dinosaur Plane" Greg asked, Manny and Elliot, to go to the Ice Fortress with them and they Agreed with them, They then went to the village shop to buy supplies. However, Greg and Roland are broke so Roland used his last coin to buy a map to help them lead to the Ice Fortress.
Roland Greg Tom Manny and Elliot walked for a while but then Roland gets a blister and Elliot gave him a Ride. They settled in for the night and set up a campfire. The next morning Roland Tom Manny Elliot and Greg came to a village that is near their village with its front entrance blocked up by giant rocks from an avalanche so Roland and Greg helped the villagers by moving them out of the way.
The villagers thanked them by giving them food and shelter then the next day they asked Roland and Greg if they could clean up their village Roland and Greg decided to continue helping them and this went on for days even some of the request they were asking Greg and Roland do were simple tasks. but suddenly, Patty Farrell came to give the Villagers all their money, Manny the Dinosaur tells them to stop, But Patty Farrell doesn't care, Greg and Roland has been doing chores in the village for a week and eventually they had to go so Roland told the villagers that they have to go to the villagers which they were fine with but suggested that they should come back after Roland recuses his mom. Greg asked Elliot to give them a Free ride, Elliot sayed Yes, eventually, They went to a Village with Girls, The heroes (except for Tom) had fun doing a Village Grove, They went through the dark Tangled Forest where they saw a Pixie Village with pixies living in it. The pixies welcomed Greg and Roland and gave them mushroom soup. While not enjoying his soup, Roland told the pixies that their village was beautiful and the pixies said the reason why is because they don't have pills of garbage lying everywhere unlike the trolls. Roland and Greg told them about their journey, to which the pixies told them that they needed weapons. Roland doesn't believe in fighting, which the pixies laughed at him. The pixies brought Manny a magic drawing pad but they told Greg that they have a sword for him but it is stuck in a rock which was the same sword that Bampy the Brave used in battles and legends says only someone with a pure heart could get the sword unstruck. Manny tried to pull out the sword out but despite his strength, he couldn't. Elliot tryed it on and it didn't work, Greg tried to pull out the sword and he pulled it out easily because he was a kid with a pure heart. When Roland and Greg said good-byes to the pixies, it was very dark and because of that, they tumbled down a hill. Once arriving at the bottom of the hill, Trolls surrounded them who took Roland and Greg to their leader. Roland thought they were gonna get eaten but the Troll King was actually friendly and apologizes about Troll Town being so dumped and explained the reason why was because every night the pixies would rolled their garbage into Troll Town. Roland however, did not like littering so he marched back to the Pixie Village with some trolls to talk to the pixies.
The pixies justified their reason on why they throw garbage to the trolls was because the trolls kept eating them. Roland asks the the Troll King about this and he said that he couldn't help himself because pixies taste delicious. Roland said that if the trolls promised not to eat the pixies, then the pixies had to stop throwing trash in Troll Town, so the trolls and pixies made a pinky swear, showing that they agreed on the compromise. Roland taught the pixies and trolls how to recycle, and there was finally peace in the Tangled Forest.
After Roland and Greg left the Tangled Forest, they headed east Across the Salt Flats. Nothing exciting happened there however, so the story fast-forwarded to when they got to the Razor Range. The mountains were too steep to climb over, so Roland and Greg traveled north toward the Boulder Pass. But they didn't get far because there was a terrible thunderstorm and they had to find shelter. They found a cave nearby and went inside to wait out the storm. the cave was dark, so Roland lit a torch. And that's when he came face-to-face with a MINOTAUR. The minotaur however, was just a statue of a minotaur, and when Roland's eyes adjusted to the torchlight, he discovered a bunch of Other statues in the cave. Roland couldn't recognize all of the statues, but he did recognize a few of them like
* The Pink Beaver,
* The Little Blue Penguin,

Roland and Greg thought the cave was a museum, and that they shouldn't touch anything, a Monkey poped up with a Hypno hat, their Journey continues, however Medusa strictly guard them, and The Monkey hypnotises her,
Greg Roland Manny Elliot and Tom were free to go, but Roland didn't want to leave Ted the Robot behind. Medusa told him about the One-Eyed Wizard who could fix everything. He went to the burnt swamp to talk to The One-Eyed Wizard, who told Roland that the White Warlock was planning to marry his Mom and make her his Queen, but could only do it on a crescent moon, and afterwards he would cast the land in eternal winter, and worst of all, he would become Roland's stepdad and make Roland call him his dad
When Greg and Roland returned with the One-Eyed Wizard, The Wizard turned everybody back to normal, and after seeing how easy it was, Roland felt bad for everyone that were destroyed. Most of the creatures left, but some stayed behind to thank Roland and listen to how he got there. After hearing his story, everyone joined Greg and Roland to help save his mom, which made Roland Happy, because he made so many new friends.
The magical hand was named "Lefty" and given high fives and fist bumps as thanks. the travelers then went through the poor village, because it was too dangerous to stay on the surface, But then Elliot made the houses collapsed, but the One-Eyed Wizard used his magic to restore the cave. The travels wadded through water and got covered in leeches, but they were deflected by magic as well. Peasants came and though that the travelers were trying to steal their money, which resulted in an Angry Mob chase out of the village. The travelers escaped, and the Peasants hated dinosaurs so they stayed behind and said lots of swears and mean words but were ignored because they were being bullies and bullies only want reactions.
Meanwhile, Patty Farrell is furious that the Snellas are going back she announced that there is going to be a War against Surrey Kingdom and Armorica,
The sun was starting to set and everybody was tired, but they couldn't sleep out in the open or else monsters would eat them. The One-Eyed Wizard knew of the ruins of an old castle nearby, so everybody went THERE. When they arrived at the ruins, Roland Manny and Shae'vana went inside the tower and found a teenage boy with pointy teeth inside, whom Roland and Greg realized was a vampire, who told them they were his first visitor in 300 years. The vampire explained that his name was Christoph and he was bitten by a vampire bat when he was a teenager, and he was stuck at the same age while everybody else aged out and died, and he locked himself in the tower to avoid biting anybody else. Christoph joined the group and introduced himself to the rest of the group. Everybody had to adjust their sleep schedule, and everyone (including Roland) was okay with that.
The team's sleep schedules were all messed up due to traveling at night and sleeping during the day, all because of a vampire that didn't really help. The moon appeared and turned Christoph into a werewolf. Christoph was bitten by a werewolf and now had 2 curses on him. Greg was annoyed, but The One-Eyed Wizard said that the White Warlock had a ruby on his staff to reverse magic spells. Shae'Vana breathed by the Ice Fortress and discovered secret elf writing. Everyone went to sleep but when they woke up, Shae'Vana had stolen the map and left.
Shae'Vana also stole The One-Eyed Wizard's eye, and pocketed it, because he couldn't see out of it, and Shae'Vana also stole Greg's bag, stealing all the food. Everybody got into a big argument, arguing over who's fault it was. Greg was upset about not being a good enough leader, so he created a suggestions box. the team then headed further using the elf girl's footprints, but got lost in a corn maze. Luckily, Greg was able to summon Grandpa the Time Traveler, who helped them out. The footprints led into a canyon with a big river of lava, where Lefty carried everybody across. Sadly, after everybody else was safely across, Lefty was hit with a lava geyser. Lefty sank into the lava and all anybody could do was wave goodbye.
Everyone was upset about Lefty's death, so they all mourning for him. The One-Eyed Wizard created a new hand, but it just wasn't the same. The team traveled through the desert and lost the trail, and stayed lost for several nights. Roland was sad that he'd never make it to save his mom. Roland played a sad song down by the river, but then a Whale poped up, Roland told The Whale about his mom, and he whistled a tune and summoned narwhals to help the travelers get to the ice fortress. they all singed the Whale song together,

The team thanked the Whale and the narwhals and found the wizard's eyeball which had fallen out of the elf girl's pocket, but Shae'Vana was nowhere to be seen. Roland leaned against the ice wall, and found the entrance. the team went through and found the White Warlock himself, who just laughed when The One-Eyed Wizard pointed his wand at him. Roland realized from the "ho ho ho" that the warlock was actually Santa. The One-Eyed Wizard was Santa's Brother and wanted revenge For Santa getting Christmas while he was stuck with flag day, and used Greg and Roland to get through the ice wall. He summoned a snowstorm, and hypnotized Mrs. Nettles into saying that Roland's mother was kidnapped by the White Warlock while she went to get a snow shovel. Roland was happy that his mom was safe, but sad that his parents would be worried about him. The wizard laughed, and his laugh was nowhere near as good as Santa's. A battle ensued, and Shae'Vana shot the wizard, and he was stuck to the wall, she was actually an elf on vacation from the north pole. The One-eyed wizard slipped out of his robes and stole Santa's staff, then blew holes in the wall allowing Roland's friends to come in. Righty grabbed the friends, and then Roland's mom showed up on a seahorse and surprised Righty, causing him to lose his grip. Roland impaled The One-Eyed Wizard with Jeremy, and The Wizard became nice again, and then apologized for being such a jerk. Santa gave everybody presents despite the fact it was nowhere near Christmas, and pranked Greg with a note before giving him his actual gift: the title of Greg. Santa was about to reverse the curse on Christoph but he denied. Shae'Vana and Christoph Went to travel around the land as a couple, Detective Lion and Stephen went to solve more cases, Roland, Greg, Tom, And Manny went on Elliot, and they went back to their village,
**Rowley asked Greg if there is a Fire scene in the story and Greg said yes**
When they got back their Village, it's on fire, Greg and Roland, were confused that their village was burning, Roland asked his dad The Good News and The Bad News he told the Good news that he saved his mom and made new friends, and the Bad News is that the Village is on fire,
Greg told Ted to ask Christoph, Shae'Vana, Detective Lion, Stephen, and The One Eyed Wizard to go to his village, Ted sent 3 messages to them so they can help,
All the 5 heroes went to the village and see the destroyed village,
Uncle Gary, Righty, Paul, Uncle Heffley, Ted, and Grim came to put out the fire, the Village was saved, The Dofos, the Monkeys, Chirag, and the Snellas, came over to, The DoDos send a Box full of Tomatoes for Patty Farrell and the Vikings, Patty Farrell was thrown out of the Kingdom, and the Vikings where send to the oceans, Everything in the village was destroyed, and The Dodos rebuild the village,

and that is how the plot will be set up for *Wildy Willie:The Movie*.

**Greg ends the story and leaves The Jefferson's house**

During the credits, (Australian version only) the Vikings walk back to the Gaul and Rodrick wrongfully blames Rocky for nearly ruining his plans instead of Ned, and thus, reveals Rocky's adoption, while trying to stop the music and the rolling credits.
In the post credit scene The monkey appears on the stage, playing an electric guitar with his Hypno-Hat, and Muggy also shows up with a triangle to accompany with the music. Nubby appears later, but he keeps playing with bubbles; Tom asks him to stop, so Nubby tries to open a bag of candies but they scatter everywhere. Nubby askes if the Monkey wants to try either of them but his friends just ignore him. Rookie is also attracted by the candy, so Nubby chases it around, which also brings one of the Yetis and a bear.
So Tom Muggy the Monkey and Greg find a pre-historic man to scare away the bear to continue their show, though they are disturbed by an Angry mob of Peasants and Medusa. Later, most of the characters (including Elliot and Shae'Vana Ted the Trolls and the Fairies) in the movie come to the stage and dance with the music until they run away because of the presence of the Vikings, except Wildy Willie. At first he is unconscious of the Vikings, and he shoots them by his Bananas.
