GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

matt storey This is one of the worst children's shows I have ever seen. The animation is decent and the music is fun but the so called "lessons" on the show are so misguided that they aren't lessons at all really. Everyone says Max is so bad, he's 3 and I don't even find him that bad, Ruby is the problem. Most episodes Max wants to play with her and he usually gets scolded for it or ignored...of course he's going to act out. Most episodes involve Ruby forcing Max to participate in games he doesn't want to play and I've never seen an episode where she plays something he wants to play. Now onto the lessons...there aren't any. In one episode *spoiler alert* Max is playing with a kid who keeps taking his toys and instead of correcting the kid's behaviour Ruby just tells Max to play with his other toys which incidentally the other kid again takes. What kind if message is that? It's okay for people to walk all over you? Yeah, no. I can look over the fact that they are parent-less but this show has got it all wrong.

dankie1955 My daycare kids and I love Max and Ruby. However, it does bother me that there is no parental involvement other than an occasional visit to or from the grandma. Ruby is a great influence for Max and he is lucky to have a big sister like her. But it appears the responsibility of raising him rest solely on her shoulders. I understand what you are trying to convey but in the real world there need to be a parent involved in their lives.She is firm with him when he is wrong and she also teaches him right from wrong which is the role of a parent. And Max is a smart boy. But other than a friend or grandma, who is there for Ruby? Let's hear a voice or calling from a parent. That would be more believable.

elizabetherrico With all of the great kid's shows out there, like Backyardigans and Jack's Big Music Show (to name but two), I rue the day that my 3 year old accidentally discovered Max and Ruby. The episodes have seem to follow one of two themes: Ruby being bothered by Max misbehaving, or Ruby having to take on age inappropriate responsibility for Max which results in inappropriate scolding. I don't believe this show teaches children positive interactions between siblings. The messages seem to be to either tolerate misbehavior or be bossy and over-bearing.People have pointed out that it is good that the children have to manage daily life on their own and it shows children problem solving for themselves. This may be true, but what it does NOT show is teamwork or genuine supportive behavior. The Backyardigans has no parental figures but those children are always working together to reach a common goal. They encourage one another and provide lessons on kindness and politeness. It also (like Jack's Big Music Show) encourages imaginary play and for the viewing children to interact with the show through music and dance. Max and Ruby provides no real lessons, no desirable behavior to emulate, nor any additional benefit like exposure to music, dance, or a creative outlet that can be re-created outside of the show. It is merely a passive viewing experience with little merit.I am waiting with bated breath for my 3 year old to out-grow her interest in this drivel.
