Summary: 4 Stars
To a baby boomer like me, The Cheetah Girls are a variation on Josie and the Pussycats. But much as I loved the Josie comics and the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, the creators of the movie version failed big time where Disney succeeded -- very likely because the Josie movie took the "edgy" route and turned its back on both its family audience and the fans of the franchise.
The Cheetahs, on the other hand, have been highly consistent initiative for Disney Channel and Walt Disney Records. While not the "lightning in a bottles" that Hannah Montana and High School Musical have been, instead this peppy pop threesome have been perhaps the longest running enterprise in the Disney catalog of tween attractions, with three TV movies, five albums and three tours. Actually the concept began as a book series in 1999.
In the lollipop-colorama that is The Cheetah Girls: One World, the group has just the sort of glamorous international moviemaking experience that little girls make up on the living room floor with their Barbies. The movie definitely hits that target, as well as introduce many Americans to the idea of Bollywood and a little bit of Indian culture (though if Big Bird visited India in one of those specials we might have learned a little more).
Hmm... the plot. Chanel, Dorinda and Aqua meet hunky guys but don't get too serious, get a chance to be Bollywood stars but choose friendship and loyalty instead and sing a crispy, crunchy package of catchy songs -- on camera rather than "in their heads" which is creditable since few modern musicals allow their audiences to stretch their imaginations like old time ones did.
The movie also causes some speculation that it is just a part of an overall Disney/Bollywood corporate incentive to bridge the two industries for a fiscal win-win. It may or may not be a coincidence that the first Disney animated film created for India, Roadside Romeo, came out around the same time this film premiered.
It's interesting to note how the filmmakers managed to give this movie a somewhat opulent look with a limited budget, by filling the screen with color at every opportunity and filming a lot of outdoor scenes with heavily dressed settings (as in the marketplace sequence which looks much more "art directed," with each color perfectly complimenting the other, that the eclectic real thing possibly could). It's a nice-looking production.
The DVD features a new song sequence and bloopers, but what most impressed me was ability to watch the entire film with "Cheetah Spots" in which the performers comment on camera every few minutes and the film image become an inset. It's a nice alternative to an audio commentary and is perhaps easier for the intended audience to enjoy. You can also tell who is talking because you see them. These "spots" additionally reveal which choices Disney Channel viewers voted on to take place in the film: what props might show up, etc, which is a clever way to involve the fans.
Still, I can't help thinking how Josie and the gang might have fared in a similar production. We'd probably be watching movies with them today, instead of seeing the movie DVD in the bargain bin.
