Is Cheetah Girls the GREATEST? (Movie Commentary & Reaction) 

Big thank you to all of our amazing RU-vid Members for continuing to support us! If you also want to support our channel you can become a member right here 😊 ru-vid.com/show-UC1Q9_5zcVbEXC7Nv_PlLTjQjoin

Whitney Houston produced 2 Classics in the Early 2000s Disney Cinematic Universe: ‘The Princess Diaries’ and ‘The Cheetah Girls’.

Fun fact: Almost 99% (maybe 100%) of the clothing the girls wore were not cheetah print. They were either leopard or jaguar; no cheetah. 😆

you should absolutely watch the cheetah girls 2 as well! imo it's even better, and while kenny ortega choregraphed both movies i feel like the second movie takes a bigger advantage of it. and the songs are just as much of a bop

the second movie is probably my favorite but the song “Cinderella” will always have an special place in my heart

This movie will always have a place in my heart. As a guy, I always felt insecure about liking a movie “for girls” but now that I’m older I realized that that’s bullshit. I love the first and second movies and the music still holds up for me today. I still listen to them when the moods hits me.

I'm soo happy that you did this movie. The first musical DCOM that started it all. And yes....they are the GREATEST!! 🎉😊

So not many people know that the movies are based on a series of books called the Cheetah Girls and each girl got their own POV in the books. I got into them after the movie premiered and read them constantly. The girls are pretty on par with their book counterparts except for Aqua(who has a twin, Anginette and left Texas to live with their father; the twin is cut out completely and the dad is barely mentioned) and Dorinda( Dorinda’s backstory is the same but she is biracial in the books and you learn a lot about her family life in a foster home;she later learns that she has a biological half sister through their mother who was adopted by a wealthy family) Also I listened to the soundtracks for CG 1&2 on repeat, my mom even got me tickets to see them live when they came to my city!

I firmly believe that if Mama cheetah had gone to that practice those godawful masks would have never left that case. Like my god those things were hideously ugly.

I’m 30 and somehow just put together that Jackal is the predatory African canine after the predatory African felines. 🤦🏾‍♀️

You guys missed it because she says it in spanish, but raven's mom is chanel's godmother. So yes, the moms are most likely old friends from the industry and the girls grew up together.

I STILL can't get over Adrienne's voice.... she has such an agile, bright instrument but it's full too.

the cheetah girls definitely had a chokehold on me as a preteen 😭 some of their songs are still rotating in my playlists til this day

Stef at the beginning: I won’t remember any of their names Stef at the end: *knows not only their names, but their nicknames*

I like that you picked up on the order of singing and how it’s a hierarchy bc if you notice at the end all the girls sing in different orders showing that they are equals They continue this sentiment in the first song of the next movie until the next power shift and you start noticing a hierarchy again Basically what DCOMs which had sequels did was tell the same story with minor alterations Like how High School Musical is the same story with small changes but the main change is the location and budget

Makes sense how Chanel and galleria met, Chanel’s mom was a model while galleria’s mom is a designer

I love the you guys reacted to Cheetah Girls, definitely a throwback 😁 Two of the girls, Kiely Williams and Adrienne Bailon were a part of 3LW.

Fun Fact Solange Knowles was supposed to play Aqua but Matthew Knowles had her pull out of the project to focus on her music career, since Adrienne (Chanel) already had the role when Solange pulled out the part was offered to her 3lw bandmate Kiely.... can't wait for the sequel reaction

Im so glad/happy you guys watched this, so excited to watch it with you guys. Stay well guys.

I'm so glad you guys finally did this! I was a ten year old Black girl when this came out and this movie means so much to me. It really is top tier and I'm glad that's not just my nostalgia talking!

This movie was such a huge part of my childhood haha I remember memorizing all of the songs/choreography and (much to my brother's dismay) practicing them nonstop in the bathroom mirror. Every now and then, I'll break out humming Cheetah Sisters just to see his reaction 🤣

Without giving too much away, the dance number with the Colourful Tracksuits. That’s it. That’s the comment.

One of my favourite things about the Early 2000s was the Pop Scene. So much media based on Popstars.

The fact that this movie is one of the best DCOMs and the second one is EVEN BETTER just goes to show the quality of this property. Hope they react to the entire trilogy.

I have absolutely 0 shame in admitting that as a 25 years old the Cheetah Girls are on my top Spotify artists every single year, these bitches taught me about girl power at the age of 5 and I haven't looked back since, I'm convinced they groomed me into my music taste\obsession for pop girlies and girlbands...THE FUCKING BEST DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE EVER MADE!!!

This movie will always hold a special place in my heart! The cheetah girls soundtrack was the background music for every sleepover. I still have the CD. I play it in the car sometimes. ❤

I have been waiting for someone to do a commentary to cheetah girls for the longestttt, exactly what I needed

This movie is SO nostalgic for me! My sister and I were fans enough that my parents got us the soundtrack to this movie, and my mind was absolutely blown when I learned that skeevy Jackal Johnson was played by one of the guys who voiced my gateway anime crush, "Darien" of Sailor Moon.

Do didn’t take the beginner class in the sense that she’s following the class, she took over the beginner class, getting paid to teach it, while the usual instructor took the tour job.

I haven’t even watched this yet but I’m so excited that y’all have watched. I’ve been praying for this since y’all started reacting to Disney movies. TCG was such an instrumental part of my childhood. My friends and I would act the films out on the playground and at sleepovers. It led me to want to make music, as cheesy as that sounds.

This movie is for a very specific target audience. They use the word “Cheetah-licious” for god sake. 😅

I didnt mind the asshole to love interest cause he was never really that mean or anything, it came off more as playful banter/flirting and felt realistic. I dislike how he makes fun of their music but he did come around when he saw how she wrote it and stuff.

I’m so happy you guys did this! This movie had every girl in elementary school starting a girl group back then!

One of the things I love about this movie is that although most of the songs are set up like a 90s music video, all of the singing is pretty explicable. Like they performed at a birthday party and a talent show audition which made perfect sense

My partner will not watch movies with me. So it really helps me alot to get guys opinion on movies i really love. Im grateful to feel like Movie Budz are my friends. Watching movies ive seen before by myself is just way too lonely.

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid, cause i grew up watching in That's So Raven, and listening to 3LW. Had the cds and everything. But to touch on Steph/Stef (Cause i dont know how it spelt) about speaking to the cop in Italian, it was probably because he was stressed. When someone who is multilingual is stress they will usually start speaking in the language they are more comfortable with, which is usually their natural language.😅

I can honestly say the sequel is pretty spot on for continuing the story🐆💕👍🏾the third one however is shakier than the camera movements in the music videos in this movie. 😂 Love you guys keep up the great work🤟🏾💕

you don't understand this movie is why as a 10-year-old I started loving cheetahs, leopards, jaguars, cloud leopards, and snow leopard print, and I have it around my room :D at that time. I had a VHS so I was able to record what was on the TV and I recorded "Cheetah Girls 1,2" I would practice the dances for each one. my Mother would ask me "Why are you jumping upstairs??" lol it was me practicing and dancing repeatedly🤣. Sometimes I would come downstairs and be sweaty lol🤣 that was my work out :D just like HSM 1,2,3

OMG FINALLY!!! I've been requesting The Cheetah Girls movies for so long. I'm so happy you guys are finally getting into it. Now you guys just HAVE to do the second one. The sequel is even better than this one. Whitney Houston and Kenny Ortega really whipped those ladies into shape with the songs/vocals and the choreography. The Cheetah girls 1 and 2 are my absolute favourite DCOMs ever.

Just to clarify, Do took over TEACHING the beginner class while the instructor went on tour lol so she’ll still get paid

Galleria annoys me so much and i always hated when my step sister would defend her. I would never downplay the songwriter/producers of groups, but it's all about attitude. Galleria is clearly important, but you can't be a leader without having followers who TRUST you. I love this kpop group called Seventeen and Woozi is the producer of the group, and what i love is that he NEVER downplays the other members nor does he take credit for everything. He's very humble, and he's the sole reason why they even got to be as big as they are, but he always credits all the members cause they're important too.

Even though the movie is kinda cheesy, Raven’s character is eerily accurate. Young pop stars join the music industry starry-eyed and naive. They don’t want to look a horse in the mouth when a predatory contract seems like their best or only shot to pursue their dreams. Sad how companies depend on their literal inability to consent to screw them over.

Chanel has always been my favorite too bc she’s real, she’s the singer of the group and it makes sense how she goes on to become the main girl in the third movie

Ahhhh my childhood, I love this series and I’m so glad guys reacted to it and liked it as much as I did 💕

To this day this is my favourite DCOM, the music holds up so well, I still remember all the lyrics and choreo I learned with my sister lol. And I love the second movie almost just as much, I really would love it if you guys did that one as well!

As someone studying music business and entertainment law, I appreciated the accuracy of this movie, as well as your spot on commentaries about the industry. Love your channel!

Yesss finally cheetah girls !!!! Now we need a second movie reaction 🤗🤗🤗! The best one in my opinion. Thanks for the reaction to this masterpiece.

I will literally watch this video 50 times if it means we get your reaction to the sequel at some point in the future. It could be a year from now and I'll watch, you two are so great 💖

Oh, we're gonna need that Cheetah Girls 2 BTW lol...

I saw them on tour ! My first concert was the cheetah girls in 2005 and they had glow in the dark shoe laces

oh my god, you guys are so right about the uncomfortableness of the word 'urban'. i was listening to aaliyah over the bluetooth in my car and it listed the genre as 'urban' and the amount of cringe i felt in that moment was indescribable. my skeleton tried to leave my body because my car committed a microagression.

Yay! I was waiting for this! Great reaction as always :) Honestly, just so we can get to the 2nd one bc it's one of my absolute favorites 😂

this was definitely like my favorite DCOM as a kid, i remember having the soundtrack CD and learning the songs, dances and everything! 😂 i did enjoy the second movie as well but nothing truly beats the first!

Carrying around hot sauce is considered a very Southern American thing. Like Beyonce's lyrics "I got hot sauce in my bag, swag". Beyonce is from Houston, Texas, like Aqua.

Holy crap! These movies were a big part of my childhood! Mostly the 2nd one. But this one was too!

Literally Know Every Song In This Movie From Start To Finish!!!!!! And The Cheetah Girls 2 Is Also My Favorite ❤❤❤❤

Nostalgia trip, let's go! The dancing puff ball is the best part of this movie 😂

i came as fast as i could 💨!!! finally it’s here :) i’m already loving it

It's taken me so long to watch this, but I definitely had fun ❤ and I'm sure I'll have fun once again. Seeing Steph be pleased with Italian language in the movie was worth it.

NO FREAKING WAY!!!! I was literally thinking to myself this morning. I wish somebody would react to cheetah girls so I can watch it… Get home from work at 10 AM and here you are. God knew I needed something to make me smile after my day at work.

I always love your reviews! This was my favorite movie as a kid!! Me and 3 other girls made a cheetah girls group at recess ♡

I'm so happy that you guys are reacting to this. ❤❤

YEEEESSSSSS!!! Literally dropped everything as soon as this notification popped up...

I'm so glad yall did this, these movies were truly a core part of my childhood. I really hope yall get to do the second one, most fans actually consider it the best of the trilogy! It expands a lot of the first, and the other characters get a much bigger storylines. I hope yall are well. Love yalls content as always!! 💜

Technically, in order to record, they would need a good enough space. And this was back then, so getting a simple microphone is a lot back then. So, recording a demo wouldn't have been that easy.

Loved this! I am a Cheetah Girl for life 😂💯 Yall should definitely do the second movie. It is better songs, better storyline, better everything. Cheetah Girls is definitely one of the best Dcoms. Nothing else compares.

The first two movies are my favorites and I still listen to the soundtracks they're really good!! I really hope you do the second one!!

i love this movie so much man 😭😭😭 i cry everytime chanel breaks down in front of her mom, including watching this reaction 😭

Cheetah girls is such a cultural reset Can't wait for he 2nd one it's way better which says alot cause this movie is charming as heck

I've been waiting for this movie commentary since the day I discovered your channel, you guys don't know how happy you've made me today!!! I'm desperate for you guys to do the other 2 movies lol. I remember begging you guys to do cheetah girls under your lemonade mouth video and now I feel like I can die in peace 😆

I already love you guys for doing Jawbreaker now cheetah girls 😍 . Yalls commentary is so amusing & entertaining have a blessed day guys!!

I luved that you guys watched this!! This movie was my favorite Disney channel movie and I even saw them in concert a couple times. It’s up there with the best DCOMS. Hope you guys watch all of them. Luv your videos!!

Yesss i love this movie and the second one is even better in my opinion ❤ I'm glad you guys liked it too

Oh my god yay!!!! Please consider reacting to The Cheetah Girls 2! I feel like it's such a fantastic sequel.

Cheetah Girls 2 is on a different level, love that movie. The best part is that they attempt to make Galleria the villain again but honestly she wasn’t. And that makes the 2nd movie have a ton of layers to it. One of the best dcoms!!!!!

that all around the world song has been stuck in my head for 10 years

So happy you guys reacted to this!! I can still remember the night this premiered on Disney, I was 9.

FINALLY. I've been waiting for this since I first found your channel.

OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YALL TO REACT TO THIS😭😭

I do love this DCOM! It is such as huge part of my childhood. As a cheerleader/dancer, Dorinda was my favorite. There’s a little bit of reality suspension but is very grounded otherwise.

So excited that you did this one! Cheetah girls is so good and I think 2 is even better! Looking forward to that one!

PLEASE watch cheetah girls 2!! it’s the best out of the trilogy and just don’t waste your time on the third one ☠️

"The nineties didn't end until 2005." Lmaooo. I wouldn't disagree with that. Whatever the sound of R&B was during that time definitely carried through the early aughts.

I love so much that you are doing commentary for this film! ❤

Both of your shirts are on point today 😂 I love it. Also I broke my wrist this week, I’m clearly getting old because I wasn’t even doing anything cool! I fell asleep in the car and was leaning my head on my hand, we went over a bump and.. snap. Rudest awakening ever 🤣

14:07 He looks like he wants to be a vampire - Sam I legit snorted 😂😂😂😂

OMG!!! You’re reacting to the cheetah girls!!!!!!

They did go on tour as the Cheetah Girls! I saw them when they were on tour and it's funny you mention the Jonas Brothers because they were a special guest performer for a couple shows on that tour XD

you have to watch the second one!! Also at the end, I think when Do said she “took the beginner class” she meant she’s going to be teaching it, so she’d be making money

I rarely comment but cheetah girls is my all time favorite dcom! So glad you guys reacted to this! Fingers crossed this vid gets enough love for the second & third movies!

"It's okay babe, you're black on the inside" 🤣😂

This was my fav soundtrack when I was little, I had the CD and would dance and sing them all day, bless my parents lol

I was waiting for this commentary yasssss, i love that u love it❤ i cant wait for u to see the 2nd 🎉❤

It shits on them from such a height they thought it was god 😂 Glad that you still say you like Lemonade mouth but definitely agree this series is top tier movie in general but also movie about music. Loving all of it!

I love that you guys reacted to this! Always a classic 🥰

Man, Raven-Symonè and The Cheetah Girls had a CHOKEHOLD on pre-teen girls during this time (I was a young teen by then but still watching Disney Channel) lol. I was just talking about my little swore she was Raven Jr. between this and That's So Raven (still one of the best and funniest Disney Channel series). I'm talking albums, posters, cheetah print clothes, bed spread, etc. They girls would label each other in their friend group based on which Cheetah Girl you were in your friend group, kinda like how 90s kid would label each other based on which Power Ranger you were lol. Raven was one of what I view as the Disney Channel Queens of that era (along w/Hilary Duff & Christy Catlson Romano). I still lowkey bump the soundtracks at my 32 years of age. I honestly feel that The Cheetah Girls should have had the fame that High School Musical had as they're the better movies imo (at least the first two)...

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!

YEEEEEESSSSSS! I’m glad you watched this, it was my favourite movie growing up!

I’m sure someone else has said this already, but Cinderella is actually a cover, so that’s probably why it seems like a legit song on the radio, cause it was. Of course I didn’t know this as a kid and was shook when I found out!

Yess Please Do The Sequels🔥 People Say 3 Is Trash But The Soundtrack Is Really Good And Slept On🙌🏾
