Adding Lighter and Softer
Added DiffLines:
** Had Lola had been a run away rather than a babysitter, there probably would have been no mention of 3 people shooting up, a Chinese lady with no pants on, and a man showing her his gun who looks like he's about to go on a shooting spree. None of these things are very Disney, traditionally.
Added DiffLines:
** In the remake, no one says that a ginger looks like a talking penis.

Lighter and Softer
Added DiffLines:
* LighterAndSofter, rendering the big, bad, gritty, grimy city from the PG-13 original much less so in the Disney Channel remake. (the nasty 1980s Chicago, Illinois versus the glossy locations of 2010s Vancouver, Ontario).
** The whole plot. In the original, an abused girl named Brenda runs away and her friend Chris has to pick her up from a bus station in "the city" and bring the kids that she was babysitting. One of the kids, Daryl, steals a Playboy because the Playmate resembles Chris, who is underaged. The Playboy has incriminating notes written in it by a Grand-Theft-Auto-style mafia, and the kids get pursued thusly. The remake, Brenda and Chris are renamed Lola and Jenny. Lola and Jenny are both babysitters, and must track down one of the kids who sneaked out to a concert in "the city" and bring the rest of the kids that they are babysitting. They get chased around by a couple of Home-Alone-style villains who want to get a camera that has pictures of some stolen pawn shop items. [[spoiler: The bad guys are arrested and convicted in the remake. In the original, the bad guys get their Playboy back, but they're never arrested, they're still around, still looking for the kids who still know too much...)]]
** Sexual harassment. Because the Playmate looks like the babysitter, the babysitter is subject to chronic verbal harassment by various people throughout the movie. The only sexuality in the remake is when people couple up in a consensual manner.
--->'''Daryl:''' "You gotta see this month's Playboy cuz it has this girl in it who looks exactly like Chris. I'm serious! She's got these humongous boobs!"
*** Also, none of this from a middle-aged man to a 17-year-old girl...
---->'''Hot Dog Vendor:''' "You slip me the cash and I'll slip you the wiener!"
** Less theft in the remake. In the original everyone is stealing everything from everyone else. Even Brenda has her glasses stolen off her face. In the remake, the theft is strictly related to the pawn shop. A child takes candy from the pawn shop, believing it to be free, and that's why the kids think the pawn shop guys are chasing them, rather than the photographs of stolen merch, and then the babysitters steal the pawn guys' car.
** The remake doesn't make fun of homeless people with schizophrenia, especially the man who lives in a phone booth, a phone booth that Brenda occupies to use the phone, and he keeps yelling, "Get out of my house!" so Brenda kicks his stuff out and tells him he just moved. Later, the woman who stole Brenda's glasses sees that the man has moved back into the phone booth, and she yells, "Get out of my house!"
** In addition to the mafia, there are violent street gangs battling over territory.
--->'''Chris:''' "Excuse me. I couldn't help but notice that you're about to start killing each other. I was wondering if you could please wait until we get off the train?"
--->'''Gang Leader:''' "Sit down, bitch!"
*** There's no excessive violence in the remake (except the roller derby at the police station) but no attempted homicide, no constant punching, kicking, guns, knives. The remake does feature the threat of a non-consensual haircut, though.
** No adultery
*** A man named Pruitt constantly tries to kill the man who is sleeping with his wife.
---->'''Pruitt:''' "Jesus! My wife's with the bastard again!"
*** Underaged boy gets involved with an adult college student and her boyfriend tries to assault the underaged boy
*** The babysitter's boyfriend is cheating on her with an "easy girl" they call a "sleaze" in the original. When confronted, the boyfriend says that the babysitter's legs are "locked together at the knee" and then the boyfriend gets his ass kicked literally and the babysitter ends up with another guy by the end of the movie. In the remake, the babysitter and boyfriend end up separated for the night due to a series of comical misunderstandings. They end up happily reconciled. The boyfriend in the remake seems to be a composite character of the two boyfriends from the original, minus the cheating.
** No jokes with murder as the punchline
--->'''Brenda:''' "I'm just in a really bad mood. My parents are driving me crazy. My stepmom is such a pain. If I don't get out of the house I'm going to spike her Tab with Drano." (Tab being a soft drink, Drano being a pipe cleaner)
*** In addition to the other examples mentioned, in the remake there is no humorous misunderstanding where a doctor claims that one of the kids died from his stab wound and everyone grieves, no laughing while leaving someone to die precariously balanced on the ledge of a skyscraper, no casual mention of how parents are going to "kill" their children.
** No jokes with rape as the punchline
--->'''Chris:''' "Now, boys, if either of you give me any grief, I swear to God I'll kill you. Dead, murdered, stabbed."
--->'''Daryl:''' "Raped?"
** No cussing.
*** Especially the part where Chris says, "Don't fuck with the babysitter!" In the remake, it is changed to, "Don't mess with the babysitter!"
*** There are two uses of "fuck," five uses of "shit," five uses of "bitch," three uses of "ass," one use of "piss," and one use of "bastard." There are also five uses of "hell," two uses of "damn," one use of "crap," and 24 uses of religious swearing.
--->'''Daryl:''' "You got to be shittin' me."
--->'''Chris:''' "Watch your mouth."
--->'''Daryl:''' "Watch my mouth? You got to be shittin' me!"
** No running away from home due to abusive parents
--->'''Brenda:''' "I did it."
--->'''Chris:''' "You spiked her Tab with Drano?"
--->'''Brenda:''' "No, I ran away from home."
** No prostitutes. One talks with Daryl, and reveals her age to be 17.
--->'''Daryl:''' "You wouldn't believe what that girl would do for twenty bucks."
** No scary stories about a serial killer using his hook hand to turn children's faces into pool of mushy goo that resembles a bowl of "[=SpaghettiOs=] with meat."
** No homophobia. In the original, one character calls Thor a "homo" as an insult. Two other characters are offended ... not because of the homophobia, but because being gay is considered a bad thing.
** No smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol.
