Hoffmaniada is a 2018 Russian animated Stop Motion movie made by Soyuzmultfilm. It tells the (heavily fictionalized) story of German romaticist author Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann as he tries to balance his passion for writing with his dual jobs as a music teacher and a desk-bound lawyer as well as his complicated love life. If only he wasn't constantly haunted by his own fictional characters...The film adapts and references several Hoffmann stories, including The Sandman, The Golden Pot, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, Little Zaches, Great Zinnober and even Undine, Hoffmann's biggest musical success.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hoffmaniada was infamous for its Extremely Lengthy Creation, mostly caused by the studio suffering from severe budget cuts, which completely stopped production repeatedly. The film was in various stages of Development Hell for seventeen years, being originally announced in 2001. Once it was released, it recieved critical praise and won several awards, including a Golden Eagle Award for best animated film.Compare and contrast The Tales of Hoffmann, which has a similar basic premise but mostly adapts different stories by E. T. A. Hoffmann.

Age Lift: Marie is clearly much older than her novel counterpart, and the Nutcracker is never stated to be Drosselmeyer's young, transformed nephew either. Arguably, both are based more on their selves from the famous ballet than on the original story.

All Witches Have Cats: The Old Witch has the Intelligent Animal version (and a sharply dressed one, at that.) He does however seem rather frightened by her evil doings.

Adapted Out: For simplicity's sake, Veronika from The Golden Pot is the only human love interest to appear. This turns her and Olympia into Romantic False Leads for the Official Couple Anselm and Serpentina, as the Sandman story no longer has a Clara character.

Artistic License – History: While not exactly going for realism in the first place, the film still takes some noticeable liberties with Hoffmann's life. Notably, Undine is presented as his own, personal work, written when he was a young man looking for his big break. In reality, it was a collaboration with Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué who was the one who really wrote the libretto (Hoffmann only composed the musical score.) It was also released at the height of his popularity, at which point he had already gotten several operas and other stage productions made.
