What happens

Groove Squad Cheerleaders is a 2002 animated television film produced by DIC Entertainment as part of the DIC Movie Toons series of films. It debuted on Nickelodeon on November 24, 2002 and was later released on VHS and DVD by MGM Home Entertainment, eventually airing internationally on Disney Channel and Toon Disney. The titular squad consists of three high school cheerleaders and best friends who gain superpowers after accidentally being zapped by a jolt of electricity from the mad scientist Dr. Nightingale. With help from their team mascot and their hairstylist, a former Mi6-agent, they must learn to use their newfound powers to defeat Dr. Nightingale while hiding their identities as superheroes and win the annual cheerleading competition. It was the only film of the DIC Movie Toons to be an original story, as the other films were either based on existing cartoons or adapted from classic literature. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
