9. Max and Ruby
"Max and Ruby!...Ruby and Max!" This duo shares the number 9 spot on our countdown. Max and Ruby's sibling relationship gives children the opportunity to relate on that level. Max, the quiet white bunny, is always giving his older sister trouble and he usually isn't saying much while doing so. His dialogue is limited to one or two word phrases throughout each episode. While Ruby was the more mature older sister who tried to keep things under control. This brother/sister combo is the only duo on the list making them the top bunny siblings out there.
