    I think they just did some camera trick to cut out most of the travel time and not make the movie longer.

      Exactly. They did the same thing in The Lord of the Rings movie. Rivendell is about 300 miles from the Shire. The hobbits leave the Shire at about 40 minutes in, and arrive in Rivendell roughly 35 minutes later. I’m sure they saved time by not stopping for second breakfast, but that would imply traveling 300/35 = 8.6 miles per minute non-stop with their stubby little legs.

      Or maybe some people complained the movie was already too long (these people are wrong) and didn’t want to watch hobbits walk 300 miles in real time.

          You may already know about this, but there’s an edit of Fellowship of the Ring where Sam says this line every time he takes another step. It makes the movie over 9 hours long.

      It can’t be a montage if they are singing, unless we assume they skipped verses or repeated the song. Either way, I can tell you from personal experience that singing the same song for hours at a time does not make a good date

    I prefer to think they sang the song over and over again on the round trip and the movie just splices it down to one time through the song.

    In reality, these tortured souls rode through the frigid sky with no food or sleep for days on end with only the words of “a whole new world” to maintain their sanity. Their love was obviously forged through shared suffering.

    You’re such a mathematician. Saying something is real because your calculations say its real. Eventhough the evidence that’s right in front of your eyes, clearly shows that they are stil alive and unscathed, they didn’t even appear to have noticed the immense speed that they were traveling.

    Clearly this is the work of aliens with a technology so advanced that our smooth brains can’t even comprehend the math necessary to calculate it. So that explains everything, you’re welcome.

    I was going to rip on taking a cartoon too seriously, but then I remembered getting annoyed at superwhy, which is an ABCs show for toddlers. They had an episode where they landed on Saturn, and it was sandy. I had a to give my then 2 year old an impromptu lesson on what a gas giant was and that her favorite show was fucking wrong. I was so irritated that an education show would do that lol.

      I just assume that it was time dilation due to editing. The actual journey was much longer. Don’t think about it too much cause then you’ll start to wonder how long that song actually is, and then you’ll start to question why anyone randomly breaks out into song to begin with, and how everyone seems to know the lyrics despite being complete strangers.
