KastleVania IV: Vanian Legenda

KastleVania IV: Vanian Legenda (Legend of Vania) is a 2011 action adventure brickfilm by HOViNET team. It is a feature length brickfilm and at 146 minutes, it was the second-longest known brickfilm upon release and remains among the longest ever. It follows a trio of KastleVania films produced by HOViNET in Summer 2003. Initially, HOViNET were planning a 10-part miniseries called KastleVilla in 2004, but they kept adding to the story and realised that this could make a single long film instead. KastleVania IV was in production from 2005 to 2012, featuring 110,000 frames of animation and multiple framerates ranging from 10 to 25.

The film was completed on November 25, 2012. It was sent out on DVD in December 2012 and uploaded to YouTube in January 2013. The YouTube upload was made private in 2017 and the film became only available by buying a DVD, but the YouTube upload was made public again in 2018.
