Added DiffLines:
* ActorSharedBackground: Colleen Dewhurst grew up on Prince Edward Island, just like her character Marilla.
* ChannelHop: The 1985 film originally aired on the [[Creator/{{CBC}} Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] before switching over to the Disney Channel for ''The Sequel'', then back to CBC for ''The Continuing Story'' and finally Creator/{{CTV}} for ''A New Beginning''. Creator/{{PBS}} also broadcast the series as part of its anthology series [=''WonderWorks''=].
* FakeNationality: Schuyler Grant is American, playing the Prince Edward Island native Diana.
* LateExportForYou: This series first reached Japan in 1989 via a 50-minute CompilationMovie, first released theatrically and later on home video. In 1994, Creator/FujiTV - which had also broadcast the 1979 anime - commissioned a new dub for TV broadcast, this time adapting the entire series.
* TheOtherDarrin: Between the two (theatrical and TV) Japanese dubs, Creator/MiyokoAso as Marilla was the only one to reprise her role. Anne was dubbed by Creator/HiromiTsuru in the theatrical dub and Miki Fujitani (Kaoru in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'') in the TV dub.
* RealLifeRelative: The orphanage director is played by Creator/MeganFollows (Anne)'s mother.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Katharine Hepburn was offered the role of Marilla, but she turned it down. As mentioned above, she wanted the part of Anne for the 1934 film, but the part was given to someone else.
** After turning down the role of Marilla, she suggested her grand-niece Schuyler Grant for Anne, but Kevin Sullivan gave her the role of Diana instead since he wanted a Canadian actress for Anne.
** Creator/MeganFollows, for her part, was initially rejected for the role of Anne by Kevin Sullivan; only to win the part following a stronger audition.
