Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front is the third movie in The American Girl Movie Collection, but is the first to premiere on Disney Channel . The first two movies were broadcast on The WB; Molly's movie will be on Disney Channel since UPN is merging with the WB and both sides feel that the movie's content will not fit with the goals of the new network. The movie is scheduled to premiere the week of Thanksgiving, but not as a Disney Channel Original Movie.
