Work Brdečka most often worked as a screenwriter. He had a fondness for the Wild West, and thanks to this, his most famous work, the parody Lemonade Joe was created. It was first a series of short stories, then a theatre play, and finally a film. He collaborated with prominent figures in Czech cinema, such as Jan Werich, Jiří Trnka and Oldřich Lipský. As a film director, he mainly worked in the field of short animated films. His most successful film was Špatně namalovaná slepice, which won the Grand Prix award at Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Although he became known abroad thanks to his cartoons, today most of these films are forgotten and Brdečka is remembered primarily as the author of screenplays for successful film comedies.
