Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Disney's remakes may be a hit or miss with fans, but there's one Disney Channel original movie from 20 years ago that is ideal for a modern reboot. Over the years, Disney has brought audiences many live-action adaptations of their classic animated films, some that performed well, like Maleficent, and others that fell a bit flat, like Mulan.
When it comes to Disney Channel reboots, the closest and most notable is High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which is inspired by the original trilogy of High School Musical movies. This franchise started in 2006, so it's also creeping up to 20 years old, which raises the question of whether any other DCOM movies deserve reboots, especially from around that same era.
Since the girls enter a talent show, perform at a music festival, and star in a Bollywood movie across the films, the advancements of social media and the internet could add a layer to their reach and connection to fans. This can enhance the global perspective of the franchise since the characters can stream, film viral videos, and more while traveling the globe.
1 Original Cheetah Girl Supports A Revival Since there's clear room to update the story, and past reboots like High School Musical: The Musical: The Series prove new Disney Channel original songs and casting can quickly become hits with fans, a reboot seems almost too good to pass up. Stars of the franchise, Raven-Symoné and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton , revealed that they are always keen to work together again.
Although Symoné elaborated that she's looking to direct more than act, this opens up avenues for social media-savvy Cheetah Girls to strut their stuff in a reboot as well as introduce new multi-hyphenate actors, singers, and dancers. With original cast members evidently dedicated to a potential franchise revival that "can't ruin the Cheetah Girls," possibilities could include a new-age of The Cheetah Girls movies under the original stars' guidance.
