==About==

==History==
BrodyAnimates started his YouTube channel in November of 2013 when he was eight years old. He originally made Mario Plush videos under the name FlawlessYoshi47, but later switched to Minecraft videos. 
Sometime after that, Brody decided to take his channel in an entirely new direction, uploading a debut animated video in January 2018 called, "The Quest For the Cookie (School Project)." This video would be the start of his animation YouTube channel, which he is famous for. Brody continued to post animated content, seeing great success very early on, quickly reaching 300 subscribers, then 400 less than a month later. 
On May 31st, 2018, Brody uploaded a video titled "Being An Identical Twin (ft. TheAMaazing)". This video did extremely well, bringing in over a million views. Around the same time, Brody attended VidCon US 2018. The publicity from VidCon combined with the massive success of his video with TheAMaazing caused Brody's channel to grow at an almost unprecedented rate for a young animator on YouTube. 
Throughout the summer, Brody's channel continued to grow in subscribers, causing him to surpass 100,000 subscribers less than a year after starting animation, in February of 2019. 
His subscriber count doubled in less than 6 months when he reached 200,000 subscribers that same year in June. To this day, BrodyAnimates is one of the most well known young animators within the community.
