Production notes

Based on the books of children's author and illustrator Rosemary Wells.

Katie Griffin also claims vocal credit for Ruby.

While extremely popular in Canada, this series has not been as well-received in the United States.

The series has been criticized by some parents (particularly mothers) for several reasons: Max and Ruby's parents are not shown; the brother and sister rabbits are left alone without the presence of adults; Ruby takes on a caregiver role; and Max is bratty, but no parent intercedes.
