What is the name of the fictional band in the 2003 DCOM 'The Cheetah Girls'?

The story behind the answer

The fictional band in the 2003 Disney Channel Original Movie The Cheetah Girls is called The Cheetah Girls.

In the film, the group is a girl quartet led by Galleria Garibaldi, played by Raven-Symoné. The other original members are Chanel Simmons, Aquanette Walker, and Dorinda Thomas, portrayed by Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, and Sabrina Bryan.

The movie was based on Deborah Gregory’s young-adult book series and premiered on Disney Channel on August 15, 2003. Its success helped Disney turn the fictional act into a real recording group associated with the films and their soundtracks.

The band name can cause confusion because it refers both to the fictional performers in the story and to the real-life musical group built around the franchise. The first film was also notable as Disney Channel’s first musical original movie and became a major ratings success.
