In general, movies have a lot more locations that they shoot on. This means that they have to set up the sound and lighting and cameras every time, and generally movies spend a lot more time making sure those are as good as possible. You can do a movie in a lot less time if you’re willing to make the production simpler, such as having just one room that the movie is shot in, but most movies that take years not only have a lot of different locations, but also have a lot of computer special effects that can take months to complete.
