** This is also what made their plan possible in the first place; for some reason, when Da Rules were originally written down by the first Fairy Council, it included a loophole stating that the Pixies could only be granted wish-granting authority if they were ever left as the only magical race on Earth. Once the Fairies were withdrawn as a result of Timmy's wish, that left the field wide open for the Pixies to seize power.

When he was a baby, the circus train his parents were on was speeding towards a ravine with a bridge out, so they placed him in a rocket and blasted it off in order to save him.

** For Timmy, the reason the kids are sent to Flappy Bob's Learn-a-torium is due to H.P. and Sanderson actually enhancing their fun so they're "destructive and loud", and they are able to convince Timmy that being in a SafetyWorse situation is not the best place for a kid, and that grownups always ruin everything. As a result, Timmy wishes kids ruled the world.

The movie starts 37 years before the series, when HP and his assistant Sanderson, coming off a defeat from the Fairies, come across a baby clown whose parents had thrown him off a train in an effort to save him (the train was approaching a gap in the track [[SenselessSacrifice but switched to a stable one at the last minute]]). Thus HP begins setting up a LongGame, with the infant clown as the centerpiece.

In the present, summer has started and school's out, to the dread of the adults of Dimmsdale as the kids start running amuck. The Pixies, seizing their chance, work behind the scenes to make the kids' actions even more destructive. In comes a man named Flappy Bob, who offers to take care of the kids in his "Learnatorium": an over-sterilized, over-protective, and educational-laden dull place. When the kids are forced to go there, Timmy comes to the conclusion that "adults ruin everything" and wishes kids were in charge of the world.

Seems like a good enough wish, right? Of course, if you know this show, it naturally leads into unforeseen consequences engineered by HP himself and Timmy has to find a way to set it right.

* BatmanGambit: The Pixies' plan relies on, in order: Dimmsdale's kids growing completely out-of-control during their summer vacation; their parents getting so fed up with it that they agree to send their kids to Camp Learnatorium; Timmy being so bored by Camp Learnatorium that he wishes kids ruled the earth; and the world's children doing such a good job of ruling the earth that there's no need for fairy godparents anymore. Then they reveal themselves to Flappy Bob and allow him to make the world exactly how he wants it, which Timmy cannot stop as he does not have his fairies, before taking over Fairy World. Downplayed somewhat as they ''do'' nudge things in the right direction, such as magically amplifying the kids' rampages.

* CassandraTruth: Downplayed. While Flappy Bob refuses to believe that the Pixies are manipulating him, the possibility gives him a ''lot'' of self-doubt, and he repeatedly wonders aloud whether Timmy was telling the truth. Indeed, his ''very next line'' after signing the Pixies' contract is: "Maybe you're right; this could be a giant mistake''. Only when he hears the truth from the Pixies' own mouths does he realise Timmy was right.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The world ruled by children has allegedly no war, and is in perfect harmony. That is, if you're a child or (as evidenced by Vicky) a teenager. For adults, it's blatantly oppressive and totalitarian. The contrast is best illustrated in the song "Ten and in Charge". For Jorgen, the last straw was witnessing the fairies being forced to do the chores no children want to do themselves.
