Line 6:
* [[Irony as She Is Cast]]: Caitlin Waite, the former child model who lent her likeness to Kit, mentioned in a Reddit interview that she isn't actually much of a doll person.
* [[Market-Based Title]]: ''An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars'' was released internationally as ''American Girl: Shooting for the Stars'', likely as the brand is better-known amongst foreign audiences than the characters themselves.
* [[Mid-Development Genre Shift]]: Of the medium shift variety. Barring ''[[WellieWishers]]'', all theatrical/television media featuring the characters has been in the form of live-action productions; the film featuring 1980s Historical Courtney Moore was released as a stop-motion featurette in 2020 in lieu of a live-action production likely due to complications brought by the [[COVID-19 Pandemicpandemic]], which made work for child performers difficult if not hazardous due to obvious health risks.
* [[Old Shame]]: For a time, Cecile and Marie-Grace was shoved under the rug following the dismal failure of their joint collection. This changed however when the George Floyd protests renewed and further intensified calls for greater racial diversity, leading to American Girl re-releasing their books featuring African-American characters for free.
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: [[Abigail Breslin]], fan of the American Girls Collection, played the main role in Kit's movie. Breslin mentioned in an interview that she had the complete Historical doll lineup, which given her status as a child actress at the time is no surprise.
