Well, you can't exactly show the correct distances in a movie as accurately as possible, unless you make it seem like one of those live-action films. In any event, that would make the audience "travel" along with the characters for the year (and a few months) that it took to destroy the Ring. Somehow, I don't think that audiences would quite like that, or at least the non-Tolkienite audiences wouldn't quite like that.
