Max and Ruby, the adventurous rabbits preschoolers adore, didn't start out on the big screen.
The pair originated in children's books written by Rosemary Wells.
However, the story captured the attention of television networks and debuted in 2001 with a pilot episode.
Preschoolers loved the story of Max, a rambunctious 3-year rabbit, and his older sister Ruby, a 7-year old bunny.
The characters won a permanent spot on NickJr, and filmed their fourth season in 2009.
During the story, older sister Ruby typically takes on a new activity, and she involves younger brother Max (whether he likes it or not).
The show focuses on building relationships between siblings.
