Coppelia is a 2021 film without dialogue that combines live action dance with animation. It stars Michaela DePrince in the leading role.

The film was conceived by director Jeff Tudor. Tudor co-wrote and co-directed with Steven de Beul and Ben Tesseur.

The plot is inspired by a 2008 version of the ballet Coppelia, which in turn was loosely based on The Sandman by E.T.A. Hoffmann. The music is by Maurizio Malagnini with choreography by Ted Brandsen, director of the Dutch National Ballet.
