The Cheetah Girls
Based on a bestselling series of young adult books, The Cheetah Girls by Deborah Gregory.
The book series is about a girl singing group who seek to be discovered and become famous and land that ever-important recording contract. The film is about four teenage girls in New York seeking a record deal. They are discovered by a record producer while rehearsing for a school talent competition, but this just turns out to be another of the girls' troubles.
Due to the popularity of the film, Disney formed a singing group with three of the lead actresses -- all but Raven-Symoné -- also named "The Cheetah Girls".
The Cheetah Girls 2, a television movie, is the sequel to the Disney Channel Original Movie The Cheetah Girls, starring Raven-Symoné, Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, and Sabrina Bryan.
The sequel is about a talented teen quartet who take a whirlwind tour of the Catalan capital to pursue their dreams of pop superstardom. Actresses Lynn Whitfield (The Josephine Baker Story) and Lori Alter return as the Cheetah Girls' protective mothers, and popular Mexican singer/actress Belinda is introduced in her first English-speaking role as a would-be rival to The Cheetah Girls.

Trivia:
- Dorinda's character is a foster child and Cheetah Girls creator, Deborah Gregory, was raised in the New York City foster care system.
- The Cheetah Girls was filmed in Toronto and New York City in October 2002.
- Toto, the Cheetah Girls mascot is actually Cappuccino, the real-life pooch of author and creator, Deborah Gregory.
- The Cheetah Girls DVD was the first by a DCOM to be certified Platinum for DVD sales of over 1 million.
- The highest selling DCOM DVD is High School Musical. In this movie, in every single one of their performances, none of them are seen wearing or holding any mics although their voices are amplified as if they singing into mics. In the second movie, Disney must've gotten the hint and they finally started to perform with mics. They couldn't find twins that represented Aqua and Angie for the movie, But Rumors state that in the third movie the fifth cheetah girl will be a half sister instead of a twin.
- The group Sonic Chaos might be referring to Sonic and Chaos from Sonic Adventure
- All four girls are from a different race, Galleria-biracial, Aqua-African American, Chanel-Latina, Dorinda-Caucasian.
- In one of the last scenes where Toto is stuck in the hole, and all Galleria's friends come, they're all wearing the same outfit but in different colours.
- One of the Cheetah Girls songs called "CINDERELLA" is actually a remake of a remake. The first people to play it were called 15 then the girl group Play remade it, then the Cheetah Girls
Goofs
- In the scene where Chanel is putting on a mask, and her mother announces that Luc wants them to move to France, she still has the mask in her hand. When Chanel is called by Galleria, she is seen putting her hand in her hair with the mask nowhere in sight.
- Dorinda's name is Dorinda Rogers, but in the movie, Chanel asks for "Dorinda Thomas" (although it might have been an alias). It was most likely changed because Dorinda was originally bi-racial in the book but was completely Caucasian in the film.
- If you look closely in the closing scene, while the girls are dancing, Adrienne Bailon's sweatshirt goes from partially zipped, to completely unzipped, and it keeps switching.
- Cinderella the song that the cheetahs preform for the talent show auditions was a remake of a song but yet Galleria (Raven)announces that she herself wrote the song and that is considered plagiarism
