Trivia

• This episode introduces the Pixies, their leader Head Pixie, and his sidekick Sanderson.
• This is the first episode where Fairy World was taken over as part of the entire plot.
• This is the first episode where Chad appears without Tad. The second will be Just the Two of Us!
• Jorgen lacks his usual accentuated shading while dressed in a Pixie uniform.
• It is revealed that Cosmo really likes rice as a side dish.
• Head Pixie is shown to have quite a talent for mini golf...and cheating.
• Apparently Pixies only take wishes if they are written down since they're not free spirited as Fairies. They also reject any wishes if they believe if it is too much fun.
• This was the very first and only episode where Fairy World was bought out entirely by another magical world, in this case, Pixie's Inc.
  • It is also one of two times where the Pixies had control over Fairy World. The other being "School's Out!: The Musical".
• There is a fairy in the background that looks like the First Reassignment Fairy.
• This is the only episode where Flipsie appears without Dark Laser.
• The premise for this episode is very similar to an unmade episode from season one titled "Suit Yourself", with both episodes revolving around Fairy World being bought out by a group of money-hungry fairies who corporatize everything. It may be possible that "Suit Yourself" was an early version of "Pixies Inc.".

Allusions

• The Fairly OddParents theme - The ringtone of Cosmo's cell phone is the Fairly OddParents theme song.
• Monsters Inc. - The episode's title and the Pixies Working Company "Pixies Inc." sounds similar to the Pixar movie.
• Wall Street Journal - The newspaper Cosmo and Wanda read "Wand Street Journal" is a spoof of the "Wall Street Journal".
• Caddyshack - At the mini golf course, Jorgen bounces on a pogo stick and shouts "I'm alright, nobody worry about me!". These are the opening words to the Kenny Loggins song "I'm Alright" made for the movie "Caddyshack" which is set on a golf course.

Continuity & Easter Eggs

• This is the second time Cosmo is mentioned to sank Atlantis. The first was "This Is Your Wish" and the third will be "Something's Fishy!".
• The cockroaches from the episode "Wanda's Day Off!" are mentioned in this episode.
• Super Toilet from the episode "Super Bike" is mentioned in this episode. Cosmo also says the same quote "So much clogging!".

Running Gags

• Characters mentioning or referencing rice.

Goofs

• Wanda's eyes changes throughout the episode.
• Elmer doesn’t have a boil at “Elmer’s Talking Memo Pad” stand.
• There is a mistake for the timecard “17 Holes Later”. This is because since the miniature golf course has 18 holes, when Timmy and HP clear Hole 1, it is impossible for them to play Hole 19 after clearing the next 17 holes. It should be they must clear the next 16 holes after clearing Hole 1 to reach Hole 18 and hence, the correct timecard should be “16 Holes Later”.
• In early airings, the episode had an incorrect copyright date of 2002 in the credits. Later airings (and the original print of this episode) have the correct date of 2003.

Cosmo and Wanda: Hey Timmy!

Wanda: Why the long face?

Cosmo: (referring to Timmy) Well, he may not be the perfect side dish, but he is my godkid.
