The changing nature of movies

haddayr and I watched Trading Places last night (she'd never seen it before), and as we did, both of us were surprised at how much slower paced movies were back then.

I've noticed this, too, when showing movies to my kids that I liked as a kid. Much slower paced.

Yeah, the pacing of movies really sticks out with kids movies. I remember showing our boys Babes in Toyland a few years ago because it was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and being almost bored to tears by it because it was so slow.
