Which Disney Channel film did Whitney Houston executive produce in 2003?

The story behind the answer

The Disney Channel film Whitney Houston executive produced in 2003 was The Cheetah Girls.

The musical television film was based on Deborah Gregory’s young-adult book series and premiered on Disney Channel on August 15, 2003. Houston served as an executive producer alongside Debra Martin Chase, while Oz Scott directed and Alison Taylor wrote the screenplay.

The story follows Galleria, Chanel, Aqua, and Dorinda, four Manhattan teenagers trying to balance friendship, school, performance, and a possible recording deal. The film’s success helped Disney develop The Cheetah Girls into a real-life recording group featuring Raven-Symoné, Adrienne Bailon, Sabrina Bryan, and Kiely Williams.

A common mix-up is confusing Houston’s producer credit with the later Disney Channel musical films High School Musical and Camp Rock. The Cheetah Girls was the first Disney Channel Original Movie built around a musical-group concept, and its soundtrack became a major commercial success.
