The Fairies is an Australian live-action children's television series created by Jenifer Watts and is based on two fairies: Harmony and Rainbow Rhapsody. They have friends, including Elf the Fairy Cake Maker, Barnaby the Bizzy Buzzy Bee and Wizzy the Wizard; each episode of the 2009 TV series would contain songs and dance routines. It was a direct-to-video film series released by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment Australia in 1998, Carlton Home Entertainment UK in 1999-2001 and ABC Video in 2000–2004, before becoming a TV series in 2005–2009. ABC for Kids released the vintage double DVD The Fairies & The Fairies Farmyard Magic in 2004 and the 2005-2009 series on DVD in 2005-2014, with merchandise releasing in Australia and America throughout the program's run and tours; the history of the show started in 1998 with Harmony, Barnaby, Elf and 4 tots. The producers of the series made three direct-to-video releases; the creator of the show, Jenifer Watts, was inspired by her daughter, Abigail's obsession with glitter and fairies.

The producers replaced the 1998 portrayers of Elf. These two characters were replaced by Rhys Bobridge; the little tots were reduced to three. These changes were done to boost the popularity of the show as a multi-million dollar 26 part television series, in production. In November 2005, The Fairies came to television for the first time, airing on the Seven Network in Australia, going into a 9am time slot; the Fairies was made making it more like a fantasy drama for children. New Zealand-based WETA Workshop designed the sets; the actors were replaced, except for Elf. Harmony, the Golden Fairy, Rhapsody, the Rainbow, were changed into more'girly' colours and purple. Elf and Barnaby's costumes' were changed. Elf looked more'Elfy' and Barnaby lost two of his legs; the tots costumes and actors were revamped, making them more cheeky, dressing them to look more sophisticated. Wizzy, the Wizard debuted in the first TV series; the first TV series of the show The Fairies repeated in April 2006 on the Seven Network, going back into the 9am time slot.

In 2007, The Fairies' second TV series was produced, aired on the Seven Network from 23 April. The series added two new characters, Bubbles the Beach Fairy and Twinkle the Tooth Fairy. Sales of the DVDs in Australia have topped 100,000 units.
