Hoffmaniada was infamous for its ExtremelyLengthyCreation, mostly caused by the studio suffering from severe budget cuts, which completely stopped production repeatedly. The film was in various stages of DevelopmentHell 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.

* SirensAreMermaids: Undine appears to Ernst as an EnthrallingSiren and refers to herself as a "mermaid", despite only being identified as a water spirit in Fouqué's story. Granted, said story ''did'' inspire Creator/HansChristianAndersen's Literature/TheLittleMermaid, so the association is understandable.

* DiesEarlierInTheAdaptation: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. Poor Little Zaches is last seen being taken away by Coppelius, which doesn't exactly bode well for him...
* EveryoneComesBackFantasyEnding: At the very end of the film, Ernst is transported to a theater stage where all of his characters, good or evil, sing a song as a tribute to their creator.
