Trivia / Rainbow Magic

• Blooper:
  • The initial Canadian French release of the Fun Day Fairies mixed up two of the names on the covers, which resulted in Thea the Thursday Fairy's book carrying Freya the Friday Fairy's name, and vice versa. They were later reprinted with the names corrected.
  • The US cover for Robyn the Christmas Party Fairy mistakenly displays her without wings.
• Cash-Cow Franchise: In the UK at least, though it seems to be winding down a bit in the US.
• Creator's Favorite: The books are written by several authors under the pseudonym Daisy Meadows, and as such, Danielle the Daisy Fairy was elected to be Meadows' favorite fairy.
• Development Hell:
  • There have been talks of a TV show for years. All that's come out of it is the Return to Rainspell Island movie/OVA and it's very likely it'll be the only thing made.
  • Kat the Jungle Fairy was scheduled to be released in 2016, but due to market trends necessitating other books first, her release date was pushed back to 2022.
• Follow the Leader: Candy Fairies, Secret Princesses, Rescue Princesses, and Mermaid S.O.S among others. Secret Kingdom is also inspired by this (it even shares some writers), except there are 3 girls, they don't just help fairies, and the Big Bad is female as well as being the king's sister.
• Late Export for You: The Rainbow Fairies' series was not published in Ukraine until 2022, nineteen years after the initial UK release in 2003.
• Milestone Celebration: To celebrate 20 years of the franchise, new characters Gracie and Khadijah were added in Hope the Welcome Fairy's book.
• No Dub for You: Return to Rainspell Island was released in Japan a while after its initial UK one, though it was only released in English but with the option of Japanese subtitles. It was also never released in the US.
• No Export for You:
  • A few fairies, such as Lindsay the Luck Fairy, Addison the April Fool's Day Fairy and Autumn the Falling Leaves Fairy haven't come out in the UK.
  • Return To Rainspell Island has yet to come out outside the UK and Japan.
  • A few series haven't made it to the US, such as the Showtime Fairies, some of the Christmas specials, and a series of one-offs.
  • Some of the newer series have not been able to be published in the US, with the Candy Fairies being the last series to be released there.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content: Mia the Bridesmaid Fairy and Juliet the Valentine Fairy were both named by fans of the series in polls.
• Playing Against Type: Movie exclusive; one would not expect the silly goblin Leonardo to share a voice actor with Dr. Shellington.
• Schedule Slip: Ivy the Worry Fairy's book was pulled back for a few months in favor of Sasha the Slime Fairy.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Sweet Fairies: Initially, the Cupcake Fairy was named Clara, and the Chocolate Fairy was named Coco, but their names were swapped shortly before release.
  • Kimi the Bubble Tea Fairy was originally listed online with the name Elena.
