Max & Ruby is a Canadian/American animated children's television series based on the book series by Rosemary Wells. In Canada, the series debuted on Treehouse TV on September 10, 2002, and in the United States, the series premiered on Nick Jr. on October 21. A sixth season premiered on September 18, 2016, with a new voice cast and theme song.
Max & Ruby is about two rabbits; Max, a rambunctious and determined three-year-old, and his older sister Ruby, a patient, goal-oriented, and sometimes restrictive seven-year-old. According to Wells, Max & Ruby shows the relationship between Ruby, Max, and the universal nature of sibling relationships.
In an interview with Nick Jr., Wells has said in her defense about Max and Ruby's missing parents that "we don't see Max and Ruby's parents, because [she] believe[s] that kids resolve their issues and conflicts differently when they are on their own. The television series gives kids a sense about how these two siblings resolve their conflicts in a humorous and entertaining way." However, in season 6 the series finally introduced Max and Ruby's parents.
