The Cheetah Girls One World - Post Your Opinion

Friday January 11, 2008
Kids can play a part in determining certain elements of the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie The Cheetah Girls One World by going to the Disney Channel website and posting their opinions in a poll about the movie. The Disney Channel successfully tried out this fun new feature with High School Musical 2 , where kids got to determine the sayings on Chad's shirts and the picnic items Troy brought for Gabriella. The new Cheetah Girls poll allows kids to choose things like what the girls should bring from New York to India.

The Cheetah Girls One World continues the highly popular saga about a singing group called The Cheetah Girls. Following the last movie in the series, The Cheetah Girls 2, One World is a music-driven movie that tells the story of best friends Chanel, Aqua and Dorinda as they pursue their dream to become recording artists and embark on their biggest adventure yet – a role in a Bollywood movie. The film will begin production in Udaipur, India, in January, and the deadline for kids to cast their votes in the new poll is February 1, 2008.

where’s Raven in this new movie cheetah girls 3? It just doesn’t seem right to do a 3rd movie without her.

March 3, 2008 at 2:01 am
(2) Marissa says:

I think that they shouldn’t do a nother movie wothout Raven.She was the leader and it won’t seem right.Just because she wasn’t on the tour doesn’t mean she can’t be in the movie!!!!!!

when i first heard raven(the leader) wasn’t going to be in it i thought it would be rubbish but now im not so sure what its gonna be like. hope its good.

(8) Cheetahlicious says:

It will be odd without raven but at the end ov the day the tcg album was the best yet without her and its not the other girls faults that raven is 2busy to continue this project, adrienne is 100% a strong enough singer and actress to make this film a hit all on her own and the other girls are really just back up to her if were honest but even they are fantastic actresses and have gotten so much better since the first movie vocaly. I love the Cheetah girls movies and cant wait 2 c this with or without raven

(9) gucci ghetto says:

yea the tours and such didnt have raven,but the first two movies did.i was gonna watch this movie…until i looked online and found out she wasnt gonna be in it…

July 13, 2008 at 5:05 pm
(10) melina delgado says:

yea raven isnt in cuz she wanted 2 focus more on her career. i guess acting or sumthing. shes out of the group :(

July 13, 2008 at 10:15 pm
(11) Danila says:

well,i dont think the 3rd movie is gonna be so good as the others.For me doesnt make any sence.I think the cheetah girls should be together.

July 14, 2008 at 7:50 pm
(12) n.watts says:

where is raven?
the movie should at least give an explanation as to where galleria is and why she could not join the other cheetah girls??????????????????
we all know that raven is a bigger star than all of them, but it just doesn’t seem right with out her.

July 16, 2008 at 7:00 am
(13) Lyndsay says:

I Think The Cheetah Girls one world will be great and especially without Raven Init the Cheetah Girls have done good for two years singing without her why do they need her now????

July 23, 2008 at 4:57 pm
(14) Justme says:

The Cheetah Girls harmonize much better together without Raven. Raven is a decent singer who tends to oversing when paired with others. I think the three remaining Cheetah’s are the only ones who have the right to be in ANY future Cheetah Girl movies because they are the only ones promoting the group, and they were the only ones promoting the second movie. I can easily see Gallaria (Raven’s Character) going Solo, she wasn’t very good at playing for the group. She constantly made it all about herself. That’s the quickest way for a group to go bust and fail at sucess.

July 24, 2008 at 12:59 pm
(15) Cgirl says:

It’s been clear since the beginning of the Cheetah Girls that Raven was an outsider to the group and just added by Disney so that her celebrity could gain attention for the group. Raven has her talents and place, but the Cheetah’s make a lot more sense without her.

July 24, 2008 at 10:34 pm
(16) ashley says:

No i totally disagree!!! Yea theyve made good songs without raven but the songz with her in it are GREAT!! Whoever made this up you have no idea what you are talking about!!

July 29, 2008 at 10:47 am
(17) Denver says:

This movie suck! Where is RAven? Without her this cheetah girls movie is lame and boring because Raven always the fun one and serious! yup…We want RAVEN!

August 4, 2008 at 12:19 pm
(18) NeshaJ93 says:

I wish raven was in it too but Kiely and Adrienne were in a group long before the cheetah girls and were pretty successful so i think that the movie’s gonna be pretty good.

August 4, 2008 at 9:18 pm
(19) ostephie says:

it wouldn’t be the same without raven ): i hope its good.

August 5, 2008 at 7:06 pm
(20) jess says:

Why isn`t raven in the cheetah girls 3 movie it just seems wrong to make a movie without her because she is a cheetah girl after all.

August 7, 2008 at 8:57 am
(21) Adamw2008 says:

The third movie will be good but theres no doubt about it, it would be BETTER if Raven was in it, they just don’t look right without her, it doesnt feel like The Cheetah Girls, the songs without her are good but the ones with her are so much better, if theres a 4th one and she’s not in it, it’s just going too far, Bring Raven/Galleria back!!!

August 7, 2008 at 12:09 pm
(22) TCutey says:

Cheetahs,

They did not want raven because she was getting a bigger check for being excutive producer. And they brung up i a interview that raven and kiely and sabrina and adrienne were having catfights so she decided to leave( kind of like in the movie lol) So raven was making college road trip and her new fabulous album during the making of the cheetahs 3. But they know it will not be exactly the same with out her. They were just jealous on her makings. See? But they are still the cheetah girl with out her. But it is kinda stupid how they did two movies with her and one without. But in the movie they say she decided to stay in england for college classes. But hey thats is reality but Disney Channel does not want people to see it they want you to believe they are perfectly best friends when the truth is they have more fights then a cat has lives.

Holla Cheetahs!

August 7, 2008 at 10:36 pm
(23) Pweety says:

i can’t believe raven won’t be in the movie, it just won’t be the same without her, i definitely won’t be watching it

August 12, 2008 at 5:28 am
(24) alison says:

in the movie raven’s character is going to be away in college. they hint at it in the second movie when her mom says something like “galleria if you go to spain you have to be concentrated on college next year.”
disney channel never specified why raven wasn’t in the movie. some say it’s because she was too busy others say she got in arguments with the other cheetah girls others say she got into arguments with disney channel and some even say that she got her eggo preggo but i doubt she did

August 14, 2008 at 6:04 am
(25) Mom says:

All the Cheetah Girls are great, way bring food and size into it – the young girls who love the movies are all different – or should all kids be stick thin to have talent – Raven wasn’t the normal skinny talented girl, she showed kids you didn’t have to be anorexic to make it!

August 14, 2008 at 4:00 pm
(26) ***Shimmer*** says:

I’ve heard also that the cheetah girls and raven have gotten into heated fights. And raven being the bigger woman walked away from all the drama. This movie will SUCK! how much sense does it make when these girls who worked so hard and long and about to make it big in India leader quits because she wants to go to college……LAME! If I were the orignal author of the book series (yes it was a book before a movie. Look it up) I would be seriously flamen right now. Raven made this movie with her voice and acting.

August 14, 2008 at 5:47 pm
(27) Elle says:

I thin it is really good and i love to watch it over and over again.

i am just asking you dont have to answer but why is raven not in the cheater girls?

thanks

August 14, 2008 at 10:22 pm
(28) babygurll19 says:

I really think that Raven should be in this cuz them girls would be nothing without her so that’s wat they owe to her. Adrienne and Keily already had their own group so what happened to that? Are they really desperate to get the fame easily like this??? And since everyone says that Adrienne’s the leader, maybe she too will get a solo career and leave them and they’ll definetely be nothing.
I think we should all boycott this movie by not watching it on the premiere. They’ll lose money. I could see that they were always against Raven becuz they made her the target in both movies. That would be sicking for me to continue to play the target like that, dont know about you. :P eople say she wasn’t a Cheetah girl in the first place… well that’s just wrong to use her raw talent like that to get fame and then give her the boot. Even if she was busy with other stuff, I’m sure if she really wanted to and the cheetahs made her feel comfortable, she woulda been in the third movie…BOYCOTT CHEETAH GIRLS! DON’T WATCH IT ON THE PREMIERE!

August 16, 2008 at 5:06 am
(29) Rainbow HeartZ says:

I think in appearance, without raven is not ok.But if u listen to their songs(cheetah girls 3) without looking at the pics,u will be surprised to feel that raven is still there,singing…

August 19, 2008 at 12:59 pm
(30) kimberly says:

I will not be the same without raven doing the dancing and everything. Without her there is not really a cheetah girls.

August 20, 2008 at 8:26 pm
(31) SARAH TISHAR says:

the FACT OF THE MATTER IS , IN THE ORIGINAL BOOKS galleria IS THE MAIN CHARACTER AND AS WE KNOW DISNEY SCREWS UP ANYTHING THEY DIDNT ORIGINALLY MAKE. (RAVEN IS MORE TALENTED THEN ALL THREE OF THOSE GIRLS

August 20, 2008 at 9:00 pm
(32) confused91 says:

it says shes going to college in england… it does explain….. it gives an explanation.

August 21, 2008 at 1:38 pm
(33) shelbyyyy says:

where is raven..?
asif she is not in it !
movie will not be the same
when is it outt..?

August 22, 2008 at 3:32 am
(34) Raven Fan says:

I have to say that I am totally disgusted with Disney for NOT having Raven in CG3. The truth of the matter is that the original Cheetah Girls movie wouldn’t have been as popular as it was if it were not for Raven. She was the shining star that pulled the audience as her show “That’s So Raven” was the number one show on Disney at the time.

The other girls rode her coat tails to fame; Kiely and Adrienne were in a girl group that fell apart due to catiness (3LW). They were SO desperate to be famous, they had even signed on to work with Treach from Naughty by Nature; Treach is known for his, how shall I say, far from “Disney” projects.

They went from trying to be “Little Women” to “Perfectly Pollyanna” so quickly, it is really disturbing. Furthermore, I’m not buying their new “squeaky clean sisterhood”; I just don’t think they are genuine.

Sam the dancer girl tho, seems truly sincere and genuine AND she can dance her patootie off!

All this to say I think Adrienne and Kiely used Raven and her fame solely to advance their own careers and now that Raven is out of the picture, they are faking this Disney role just to get paid.

Needless to say, I won’t be watching the new movie. I miss Raven. Disney, y’all need to bring her back!

(35) timi says:

the movie sucked without raven it was the dumbset movie ever this such probally with raven it would have mad India more fun and intresting with better music and dance styl without her it totally chrashed…. HORRIBLE!!

August 22, 2008 at 11:22 pm
(36) beans says:

That movie wasnt so great. Its not the same without Raven.I dont think it was a big turn out about the movie.Raven was the main person or atleast she was the glue. The plot of the story wasnt great either. They know that without Raven it wouldnt be a success And Raven knew it too thats why she did a movie that actully made it to the theaters.

August 23, 2008 at 12:36 am
(37) Ammy says:

The plot was really played with too much, I was waiting for something to happen the whole time, and nothing ever did. I believe they focused too much on the dancing, and flashy things, that made the plot suck. I thought the movie would be better without Raven, but it still was pretty bad.

August 23, 2008 at 1:26 am
(38) betsy says:

4 get what the other girlsz say w. raven or w.out her yah still good love yah alot yah like omg lol wil hope yah keep doin what yah doin muahzzzz ooo and i will really like if yah girlsz answer me plz and thx uu

August 23, 2008 at 1:33 pm
(39) msdslim15 says:

I think they should have addressed the reason for Raven not being in the movie, if they did and I missed it could someone fill me in. Disney didn’t just throw Raven in, the Cheetah Girls was her project. At the end of the second movie I noticed her name as producer or director. Maybe there were disputes among them but she should have been recognized because I feel like she was the pen, pencil and paper, and that it was her project and it wasn’t Disney that ‘threw’ her in. Whatever the reason, someone should have filled all of us in, look at all of us inquiring minds!

August 23, 2008 at 6:17 pm

Was it fun to go around the world?

August 23, 2008 at 8:32 pm
(42) Rachel says:

I think that this movie is the best Cheetah Girls movie out of all 3 movies! It seemed like they sang more in this one than the others, also. And when you watch it, the actresses/actors make you feel a bunch of different emotions. I loved this movie!!!

August 23, 2008 at 8:48 pm
(43) shiann says:

(44) TOYA says:

I WATCHED THE MOVIE AND I THOUGHT IT WASN’TALL THAT GOOD. ADRIENNE WAS HAPPY BECAUSE NOW SHE WAS THE STAR SHE SINGED THE MOST AND HAD ALL THE SOLO PARTS IT SEEMS. IT WAS MISSING SOMETHING RAVEN, I DO NOT CARE THE OTHER GIRLS ARE TALENTED, BUT RAVEN WAS THE ONE. IT DIDN’T SEEM RIGHT WITH 3 CHEETH GIRLS. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP RAVEN THEY NEED U ADRIENNE GOT ON MY NERDS IT SEEMS LIKE SHE WAS TRYING TO HARD I JUST DON’T LIKE HERE. I FEEL SHE IS THE REASON RAVEN LEFT, SO SHE CAN GET THE GLORY AND SPOT LIGHT. NOT! NO MORE CHEETH GIRLS WITHOUT THE MAIN CHEETH. DISNEY YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THE FANS BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONES WHO MAKES U MONEY LISTEN THE PEOPLE ARE TALKING BRING RAVEN BACK OR EXPLAIN BETTER ARE END THE CHEETH GIRLS AT NUMBER 3.

August 24, 2008 at 9:10 am
(48) keiya says:

LET ME SET SOMETHING STRAIGHT. THE MOVIE WAS LAME AND IM NOT SAYING IT BECAUSE RAVEN WAS NOT IN IT IT WAS JUST LAME. THEY REALLY DID NOT ANYTHING BUT SING TALK ABOUT BOYS AND OTHER STUPID STUFF. RAVEN WAS NOT IN IT, AND ITS NOT BECAUSE THEY KICKED HER OUT THEY COULD INT DO THAT IF THEY WANTED TO. RAVEN WENT OFF TO COLLEGE SHE PUT HER OWN SELF OUT OF THE MOVIE SO SHE CAN ALSO FOCUSE ON HER ON CAREER.

August 24, 2008 at 8:37 pm
(49) caro says:

Can I goin the Cheetah Girls group?

August 25, 2008 at 11:15 pm
(51) cam says:

raven symone must get her butt on the cheetah stage right now cuz it is just not the same without her voice. id like to hear raven in the cheetah girls again. i think they should all try to get along and stick with the original plan cuz now the third movie is just not going to be the same and evn tho like 98% of evryone will still be faithful to the cheetahs evryone is gonna always wonder “hey where’s raven? what happened to her?”

August 27, 2008 at 2:40 am
(52) liss says:

Emma watson is jus like Hermione in Book 7. She’s so nice. Det’s y she’s dating det Agnillera guy.

August 28, 2008 at 9:04 pm
(53) Cheetahmom says:

Well I have now seen the Cheetah Girls 3 twice and it is just okay. There are some times where the acting was terrible… they did say where ‘Galleria’ was but the reason was lame … and they never brought her up again … they could have least said how they wished she was there or how they missed her or something. I think Raven would have made it more interesting… there was some much culture that they didn’t hit on that would have made the movie better. I have a 3 year old daughter who just LOVES the CHEETAH GIRLS!! so she liked it … and it got me some peace for at least an hour… and I thought the “prince” in the movie was too FYE! Actually all the guys were pretty cute!! and to be honest I think most of the ‘catiness’ comes from Adrienne not Kiley or Sabrina… but that’s just my opinion!

August 28, 2008 at 11:38 pm
(54) linda says:

is not the same wif out raven. RAVEN SHOULD BE IN THE MOVIE ! she was the best.. & when i didnt see she wasnt in “the cheetahs girl world ” i feel depressed.

August 30, 2008 at 7:37 pm
(55) Curtis says:

DISNEY WAKE UP!!!! WE WAN’T MORE RAVEN!!!!

FACE IT, RAVEN’S GOT MORE TALENT IN HER LITTLE PINKY THAN ALL THE OTHER THREE CHEETAH GIRLS PUT TOGETHER.

P.S. WHILE YOUR AT IT, BRING HER FANTASTIC SHOW BACK ALSO. PUT HER IN COLLEGE THIS TIME.

August 31, 2008 at 2:59 pm
(56) Violet says:

Go Figure anytime someone works with Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams, someone leaves the group of there is fights over money just like when they were in 3LW… Same situation Kiely and Adrienne are cousins and Adrienne’s mom was there manager and over money was the reason 3LW fell apart twice. They are spoiled rotten brats… I WANT RAVEN IN THE NEW… I hope the third one bombs and disney fires them all

September 1, 2008 at 8:39 pm
(57) hailey says:

it would look way way better with raven in it and the blonde dancer looks FAT no afence

September 1, 2008 at 8:46 pm
(58) ravens #1 fan says:

i think that you should not have let raven go that is very retarted and selfish and even she was the leader so that was mean just because she missed the tour and if shes not in the movie it is senseless to watch the dumb movie and btl the blonde girl is FAT here me….

September 3, 2008 at 10:35 pm
(59) emmm says:

raven sucks im happpy shes not in there. any way she weas never a cheetah to start with
