‘Adventures In Babysitting’ Trailer: These Two Ain’t Quitters, They’re Babysitters
For anyone who still has love for the 1987 comedy favoriteAdventures in Babysitting, prepare yourself for a lot of eye-rolling as you watch the new trailer for the remake heading to Disney Channel this summer. This time there are two babysitters, played bySabrina Carpenter(Girl Meets World) andSofia Carson(Disney’sDescendants), traipsing around the city looking for one of the kids they’re supposed to be babysitting, who somehow gets lost.
The newAdventures in Babysittingtrailer shows us more of the rap battle, in place of the blues club scene from the original movie, where the two babysitters perform an impromptu rap about how their night has gone awry. It’s not quite as endearing as the original for obvious reasons, but if you have any tweens in your household, they’ll probably love it.
Here’s the newAdventures in Babysittingtrailer straight from Disney Channel:
While I completely understand why a movie like this is being updated for contemporary audiences, any good parents out there would do well to have their kids watch the originalAdventures in Babysittingbefore watching this one. However, those same good parents also probably realize that the original movie is a little more edgy and mature than this Disney Channel version that has clearly been made to be a little more goofy, as evidenced by thefirst trailer that arrived earlier this year.
Adventures in Babysittingwill be the Disney Channel’s 100th original movie, which is pretty cool. It’s just a shame that it doesn’t look a little better. But at the same time, someone like me clearly isn’t the target audience for this flick anyway, so as long as it works for tweens, that’s all that matters.
In addition to Sabrina Carpenter and Sofia Carson, the young cast is rounded out byNikki Hahn,Mallory James Mahoney,Madison HorcherandJetJurgensmeyerplaying the kids our two leads are supposed to be watching.
In Adventures in Babysitting, a dull evening for two competing babysitters, Jenny (Sabrina Carpenter) and Lola (Sofia Carson), turns into an adventure in the big city as they hunt for one of the kids who somehow snuck away. Written by Tiffany Paulsen (“Nancy Drew), it will be directed by John Schultz (Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer, Like Mike) and executive-produced by Michelle Manning (Teen Beach 2, The Breakfast Club).
Adventures in Babysittingpremieres on Friday,June 24at 8pm ET. In addition, it will also be available for advance viewing via the Disney Channel app and VOD beginning June 17.
