OKay I’ll give the OP away, just because I’m dying to.

“Hollis, King of the Flots”.

It’s from an ABC Afterschool Special called “The Seven Wishes of a Rich Kid”. I don’t know why I remember this so well. Hollis is the rich kids and the other kids dislike him, calling him a “Flot” (some kind of insult to them). There’s even a scene where one of the kids pretends to like him just so they can grab his diary or something and make even more fun of him.

He somehow wins the “Rich Kids Lottery” (cause rich kids NEED a lottery) and the prize is seven wishes, which he tries to use to get into these other kids’ favors. Of course the wishes go horribly wrong and he eventually wishes everything back to normal, and they end up liking him for who he is or some crazy junk lthat’s equally as implausible as the fact that rich kids really wish they were poor so they could fit in better.

So there you go. Hollis, King of the Flots is the title of a drawing one of the other kids makes of our protagonist.

Right series, wrong movie. The other quote in that same post of mine is from the same movie.

“People shouldn’t be gettin’ ideas from books!”
