About the Show
Based on the books of internationally acclaimed children’s author and illustrator Rosemary Wells, Max & Ruby is a preschool program that celebrates being little.
The series follows the adventures of two bunny siblings, the irrepressible and feisty Max and his sometimes bossy older sister Ruby, voiced by Samantha Morton (Minority Report, Sweet and Lowdown). Max and Ruby can’t seem to find common ground and their plans almost always collide with hilarious results. Despite their differences, they are neither greedy nor selfish, and it is this quality of generosity in their relationship that makes them, and the series so distinctive. Max & Ruby encourages children to pursue their goals with enthusiasm and promotes the enjoyment of working and playing together. Find out more about Max & Ruby at www.maxandruby.ca

Notes From The Producer
Taking a kid-centric approach with her characters, Wells
frames each story around the child's direct experiences and feelings.
Each story focuses on
Max and Ruby's relationship as brother and sister. The storylines are about the adventures and
events that take place between brother and sister, and not the ones between the
children and their parents. Even though Max and Ruby's parents are not seen in
the series, they are always safely nearby as is shown by the many objects in
the house - a trench coat hanging on a coat rack, an open book, a pair of
reading glasses. There are other adults featured,
however, the main intent is to capture how each moment can be a source of
amusement and discovery for young children.
Seven-year-old, big sister, Ruby loves to be in charge.
However at only three years old, fun-loving and energetic Max is not always
willing to go along with his sister's rules at first. Although they may have
differences, Ruby shows nothing but patience and devotion to her brother, and
Max adores his older sister. They learn to understand each other and ultimately
find solutions that make them both happy, through teamwork and compromise.
