Motion Picture Producer, Television Prodcer. In the 1960s, he produced hundreds of cartoons for television, including "The Beatles," and the animated film "Yellow Submarine." During World War II, he served as a medic in the United States Army, where he was wounded during the Battle of the Bulge, earning a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star and a Combat Medical Badge. Upon his discharge, he studied English literature at the University of Wisconsin where he received a bachelor's degree in 1948. He was hired by the William Morris Agency in New York, first in the mailroom, then worked his way up to become a TV writer and producer for the Sid Caesar series "Your Show of Shows" and "Omnibus." He was hired by King Features Syndicate in 1960 to run its new motion picture and television division. After producing over 200 'Popeye' cartoons, he collaborated with Bob Kane, the creator of 'Batman,' on the animated spy spoof 'Cool McCool' and produced television versions of the comic strips "Krazy Kat," "Beetle Bailey," "Snuffy Smith," "Barney Google" and "Casper the Friendly Ghost." Brodax convinced The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, on the idea of an animated series. The Beatles, which ran on Saturday mornings on ABC from 1965 to 1969, attracted huge audiences. When "Yellow Submarine" climbed the charts in 1966, Brodax approached Epstein again, with the idea for a full-length animated movie based on their songs. Brodax and his team of writers created a psychedelic-colored, fantasy film devoted to peace and love of The Beatles' songs from the albums "Rubber Soul," "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" as well as several new songs. The dialogue was spoken by actors from Liverpool. The movie was a hit for all ages and won an award from the New York Critics Circle for achievement in full-length animation. Brodax then went on to produce a short-lived live-action television series based on the comic strip "Blondie" before leaving King Features for ABC, where he produced the children's shows "Make a Wish" and "Animals, Animals, Animals." In the 1980s, he worked as a consultant for Marvel Comics and Computer Graphics Laboratories and in 2004, he published his book "Up Periscope Yellow: The Making of the Beatles Yellow Submarine." Brodax died of natural causes.
