Personality
Max is a good-hearted ringmaster who is the owner of the greatest circus in the world. Unlike his cartoon counterpart, he is actually caring and reasonable, and isn't quite greedy. That's shown when he helped others to rescue Dumbo and Mrs. Jumbo from V.A. Vandevere and bring all elephants back to jungle. His moral compass is what makes him a foil to Vandevere.

Trivia
- He is the third Disney villain (NOT evil like Amos Slade) to be depicted as a hero, following Maleficent and Lefou, and succeeded by Cruella De Vil, while King Stefan, the Grand Duke, and King Louie were all depicted as evil, antagonistic villains rather than being supporting characters in the original animated film.
