Max and Ruby - great DVD for toddlers and even older
In a world where most cartoons has no more inocence and teach you nothing but bad words and sarcasm, these Max and Ruby DVDs are excellent for toddlers, cute, light and great short stories. My 3 year old loves it and even the 8 year old watches it and enjoys it.

max and ruby
Personally I think Max and Ruby are annoying, but my daughter just loves them! This DVD includes a good number of episodes, and it's worth the money.

She Loves It!
My daughter, who is 3, absolutely loves Max and Ruby. She would watch these dvd's all day if I let her! And I love the fact that you get 2 dvd's at such a low price.

Good combo pack
This is a really good combo pack. Afternoons shows some cute episodes of the siblings having some fun in their multitude of adventures. Dragon shirt is a cute episode on there. Party Time is one that we watch over & over because of the excitement of parties is demonstrated in each episode. It is a fun family video for small children.

Great Product
My boyfriends 4 year old daughter was very happy to receive this package dvd set for her birthday. She loves Max & Ruby and falls asleep to these dvd's every night. I thought it was a great value for two videos.

Our whole family loves Max & Ruby
My two year old son always asks if he can watch Max & Ruby. It is his favorite show. This DVD set is perfect and we plan to bring it with us on trips so my son can watch them on his portable DVD player. The stories are always so cute and my son watches them with a smile on his face.

Max & Ruby DVDs
The product was exactly what we hoped for. It arrived earlier than expected and we are really enjoying the DVDs.

Teachable Moments
I agree with the reviewer who said that the behavior of Max does not set a good example for toddlers. I also witnessed my verbal daughter start to immitate the adorable but defiant one-word responses of Max. I told my daughter that we would not watch Max and Ruby anymore if she continued to bahave in that way. I turned these into teachable moments that gave us an opportunity to discuss appropriate vs. naughty behavior. We still enjoy the books and DVDs, but we watch them together and discuss them. Bunny Cakes is still our favorite!

Lovable, but saddly the message is negative
The animation, the characters are as perfect as a Beatrix Potter novel, BUT Max is a naughty little bunny. I've read Ruby to be described as bossy, but she looks after Max and he rarely listens to a word she says. He is tricky, clever, adorable and very stubborn and hard-headed and though this rings a bell for we parents, it isn't at all a good example to sit your impressionable, bright, already challenging toddler in front of, or read to for that matter, for 1/2 an hour, more or less.
I first noticed that my 2 1/2 year old son, who speaks in full sentences, sings songs and makes up his own little stories began using those irritatingly cute, simply, one word phrases. Then my precocious, brilliant child (who already tests limits with me, his stay at home, attachment parenting, loving mother) began doing "Max" things like pretending to be Super-Max-okay, and reenacting the bath episode (though it wasn't bath-time) where Max keeps going to the fridge and getting food making quite the mess, not cool! He began saying saying NO and in his Max voice, not listening and being an all around naughty bunny than he had not been to such an extent before-not cool!!
I, unfortunately, had to rid our home of Max everything, even the plush toys. His aunt says she doesn't let her son watch either, that or whiny Caillou. I love the characters, but I really hate that he neither he nor Ruby listen to each other as much as they aught, but I do admire Ruby's patience and Max's tenacity. I do feel though that they are not productive in our home and prefer even more wholesome characters such as Little Bear, Little People, Thomas and Franklin. Good luck to all parents who care enough to read these reviews in that never ending quest to entertain our children and protect them and the values we try to instill. My kid hasn't turned into a perfect angel ( I have "Children the Challenge" and maturation/nurturing for that), and he still talks in his "Max" voice when being defiant, but I'm not endorsing it in any fashion either.
