Why are the films so short?

Question :


I was surfing on the net and then I came on the quesion xhy are tghe films so short? I mean Balto for example, they have a length of 78 minutes.

 


Best answer :


Well, it's kinda hard to sum up such a "simple" adventure in
the length of 2 hours (which has been the preferred
approximate time length for movies) Even in the first movie
they added stuff that never even happened in real life. If
they took out that stuff, then the movie would've only been
like a half hour, and there's really only so many adventures
a dog can have in an environment we're pretty much familiar
with (to sum it up nice and short, a snowy terrain) As for
the sequels, I think approximately 80 minutes is too long
for both of them XD Too much jargen and not enough action.
At least in my opinion.

The answer is more because it's an animated film, and 2D
animated films are almost never longer than this. (around 80
minutes) This is different with the 3D animated films which
are longer, for some reasons.

the creators just wanted the make them short and sweet. get
the point accross and be done with it. as a writer, i say
that's a bad idea. they probably should have made a sub-plot
or something like that to make them more develiped.
