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

If they had snipped it down to just him saying those words instead of the whole exchange the joke would have landed even better.
If it had been a neurotic hobbit, he would’ve said that with every following step

Ty Greg!
Now I’m just imagining in every movie or TV show if we had to watch people travel in real time to wherever they were going lol. Sounds painful.
This one would be a great test of just HOW captivating David Tennant’s brilliance is 😄
no fast travel run
So they were singing on that carpet for hours.
Time moves differently during a musical number, anyway. They regularly skip forward to the next scene that can be hours or even days away.
