Branko Milićević

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Branislav "Branko" Milićević (Serbian Cyrillic: Бранислав "Бранко" Милићевић), also known by his stage name Branko Kockica (Branko the Little Cube), is a Serbo-Croatian (Yugoslavian) actor known for his roles in children's TV shows.[1][2]

Early life

[edit]

Born in Ljig, at the time in Yugoslavia, he became a singer in his childhood. He later became famous for his work on a television series for children entitled Kocka, kocka, kockica (Cube, Cube, Cubelet) which was on the air for several decades on TV Belgrade.

Cube, Cube, Cubelet

[edit]

In 1974, on Belgrade TV (Channel 1), Branko started the children's TV series Kocka, kocka, kockica (Cube, Cube, Cubelet).[3] Over the next twenty years, 250 episodes were shown, terminating in 1994.[4] In 2003, several new episodes were released in order to try to revive the show, but it never reached the popularity of the original series.[citation needed]

In 1979, the series won a reward on the 12th International Educational Program in Japan for its episode "Run, Run, Little Drops".[5] The episode first aired on April 26, 1978, and was co-written by Ibrahim Hadžić, Branko Miličević and Biserka Pejović.[6]

"The Snail" theatre

[edit]

"The Snail" theatre was established in 1977 by Milićević and his wife Slobodanka (Caca) Aleksić.[citation needed]
