Story Synopsis:
Based on the phenomenally successful youth book series by Ann M. Martin, The Baby-Sitters Club is a refreshingly upbeat family film about seven friends whose baby-sitting business in Stoneybrook, Connecticut leads to one adventure after another. With Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, Dawn, Stacey, Mallory and Jessie turning thirteen and the summer upon them, they devise a brilliant plan to make some money running a day camp. It’s the perfect way to have fun and keep their remarkable friendships intact. But when new boyfriends, rival girls and long separated parents show up, their club is threatened with ruin. But the day is saved as the seven girls stand up to their individual challenges and learn for themselves the dearness of friendship.

LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The stereo soundtrack is conventional, but with annoying in-your-face dialogue.
