Question about the new China 360 movie?

[crazymomof4]

I've heard the new movie is 7 minutes of footage. Would that be 7 minutes of new footage edited into the old movie or the entire movie is new and is 7 mins. in length?
It seems to me that the China movie was significantly longer than 7 mins. I remember getting really tired of standing and it would take much more than 7 mins. to do that. Did they shorten it by that much?

Edited to say: OK-I just read in an old WDW book that the original China movie was 20 mins. long. Did they really shorten it to just 7 mins. total?

We saw it in June and it is shorter, although I cannot say for sure it is 7 minutes shorter. There was footage missing that I remember from previous screenings.

Hi crazymomof4,

IIRC, the new movie runs around 13 minutes, so 7 minutes must have been removed. I've heard the new audio from the new film, and I think with the introduction and closing by the CM, it all takes 14 minutes, give or take 30 seconds.

Thanks, I'm a bit sad that it is shorter. I really enjoy the movies in the WS.

just wanted to say that it is a very good movie. DH and I saw it in July and thought it was very enjoyable. It still has the same format of an introduction from the Great Wall of China by a famous Chinese (I think philosopher, maybe poet), then a tour of China and ending up again at the Great Wall where you started.
