Why is Max mute in Max and Ruby

About the Show: Max and Ruby is an animated series based on book series by Rosemary Wells. The series debuted in 2002 on the Canadian TV channel Treehouse. The show is for preschool children. The series depicts the seven-year-old bunny sister Ruby and three-year-old Max. Max and Ruby lived with their grandmother. Recently the show got on Netflix which was the reason it came under the notice all over again.

Although the show is interesting, several things need to be answered, for instance, one thing that is most asked about in the series is why the lead cartoon bunny Max doesn’t talk. And what does happen to him? These major questions about the show lead to unlimited speculations by the viewers of the show.

Why is Max mute in Max and Ruby?

Why is Max mute? Is the main question by the viewers..

Initially, in the series, Max does not talk and there are several speculations about it. There are several dark theories regarding this series. One of the theories says he can’t speak because he was molested at an early age by his grandmother. This explains why he created the Super Bunny characters, a superhero in his head to combat the trauma which he experienced at his early stages of life. 

WHERE ARE THE KID’S PARENTS? Different speculations answering the most asked question. 

Another major question the majority of the audience asks about the cartoon series is that where are the kid’s parents? As it is a series for children, why are their parents not with them? How are they not helping them in their day-to-day activities? Children of such a young age always look up to their parents. Contradictory to that it is said that the show is related to children’s day to day activities and mischief and it was not necessary to show parents part in it.

The show depicts how Max and Ruby deal with their problems on their own. The cartoon series also shows the unbreakable bond between the siblings. Where Ruby is also a crime partner but also the responsible one who at times scolds Max.  

And the speculations continue…One dark theory about the show is that Max and Ruby’s parents are killed in a car accident in which Max survived. Fan associate Max’s obsession with ambulances and Police cars is due to that car accident in which he survived and his parents died. This answers both the question of why Max is mute and why their parents are not part of the show? Max survived the accident and he is actually in a post-traumatic condition which is the reason why he lacks the ability to speak. 

When it comes to the speculation from the audience they can assume anything. Some pointed out that the urn that was featured in the series, has some very special role in it. And it contains the ashes of Ruby and Max’s parents. And some blame these two little rabbits for their parent’s death. Or maybe it was only Max who killed his parents and then became silent due to the shock, however, we cannot find any particular reason by the makers of the show and the speculations goes on and on about the show. 

There are many unofficial theories about the show concerning why Max is quiet almost all of the time. Some fake statement was affiliated with the producers of the show that Max has some head trauma which he sustained during the car accident which was also the reason why his parents are dead. This head trauma is a major reason why Max is silent. 

Finally, Speculation Ends.. Nickelodeon finally aired an episode that features Max and Ruby’s parents and thus putting to rest all the theories about the silence of Max and the absence of their parents. Rejecting all those theories that they were maybe attacked by the wolf, or maybe their parents left the bunnies leaving them to be properly raised by their grandmother. 

The creator of the show, Rosemary Wells appeared on the show and told the reason why the characters Max and Ruby are alone most of the time was “ we don’t see Max and ruby’s parents because I believe that kids resolve their issues and conflicts differently when they are on their own”, posted by Nick Jr.s website. We wonder what took so long for the clarification by the show makers on these questions. But whatever the reason it’s all sorted out after the Max and Ruby appearance on the show but the reason for max quietness is still a mystery to most of us. Overall it’s an entertaining show.
