It's been 17 years since "The Cheetah Girls" first aired on Disney Channel.
The movie helped launch the careers of the four women who made up the titular band: Raven-Symoné, Adrienne Houghton (née Bailon), Kiely Williams, and Sabrina Bryan.
In 2017, Raven-Symoné returned to Disney Channel for "Raven's Home," a spin-off of her original show, "That's So Raven."
Houghton is now a talk-show host on "The Real," Bryan went on the compete on "Dancing With the Stars," and Williams has appeared in a number of rom-coms.

It has been 17 years since Disney Channel aired "The Cheetah Girls" for the first time in 2003.

Although it doesn't appear that the whole group is still close, all four leading ladies received a career boost after the film's premiere.

Here's what the stars of "The Cheetah Girls" have been up to since 2003:

Raven-Symoné was the biggest name attached to "The Cheetah Girls" when it came out.
