Development

The ideas of feature films that may revolve around the characters have been discussed by the company for several years, although American Girl President Ellen L. Brothers stated that "it's all new to us", and should explore the viability of action films by producing adaptations that made for American Girl character television. After the success of Samantha: An American Girl Holiday and continuing TV movies, several options were considered to make the transition to theatrical features.

Film production, involving script and cast, major film and photography preparations, takes about four months due to limitations on the part of Abigail Breslin's availability before another production start. The camera angle is also considered, with film crews being careful not to photograph an area or object at a designated location that would be out of place in the 1930s. Multi-camera settings are also used to speed up the process. Films were made in and around Toronto, and in Tottenham, Ontario in the summer of 2007.

The costume department uses old photographs by Dorothea Lange and the old Sears-Roebuck catalog to create the depression era-era casting clothes. Since the Kittredge family will spend less for extra clothing, the costume is made by using emery and trisodium phosphate, dulling the clothing color to give the impression of older and worn out.

Among the few vehicles used in the film, some 1934 Chrysler Airflows were used, one of which was encouraged by Kit's father. In addition to Airflow, Plymouth 1933 green sedan and some Dodge DP 1933 are also used. The parking lot was described as a Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealer in Cincinnati in 1934. An antique streetcar 'Peter Whit' Toronto Transit Commission stood for the City of Cincinnati one.

Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News called it "very old-fashioned" and thought "the script feels a bit stiff and moral at certain times," but added, "it's hard to blame a film with an intelligent and kind-hearted heroine. "Megan Basham of World Magazine says," Even if young fans can not relate the struggle in movies with their own lives, the Kit still offers more than just shows and movies. for the tween girl market In addition to the simple educational value of giving them an idea to connect with their history lessons, the film also focuses on a more important theme of materialism and beauty being championed. "
