I think he grew up! I remember the good ol days listening to cassettes of Eddie Murphy Raw and other greatest hits. I had to listen to it in my walkman at home besause my mom would kill me if she heard me listening to it. (she had a difficult time of it when she heard 2 Live Crew for the first time).
I just think his old "raw" performances that made him famous, also made him want to disassociate himself from that image when he aged. Basically, because there is no more money left in it for him, his movies got tamer over time.
