Was there ever an explanation for this? Did it have to do with the movie's "everything must have rounded edges" design philosophy?

She just liked the look of them I guess. Maybe she thought they were cool looking or something?

At first I was like, "Oh god, "Awesome" Fan-Art GAF is leaking" and then I realized it was actually part of the movie.
Also, I have no idea. It's a good question, though.

I've now thought more about that movie in the past 2 minutes that I have since it came out.
I really don't know, man.

In the movie, she remarks, "aren't they beautiful?". I don't really remember if it's with irony or not.
They're all tourists, too.
In a way, it's a kind of role reversal. She's not there for the amusement of the tourists anymore. The tourists are instead providing HER with entertainment. They are the strange curiosities, not her and the other locals.

Dammit, don't make me watch this movie again....I got shit to do.
Yeah, there was a deleted scene that dealt more with how white tourists treated her, but that got cut. So I like this explanation. But the more simple answer I think is that it was just something to show how she was "odd."

Did you think I would bring this subject up if there was a chance of you not posting that? I did it 35 minutes ago.

I'm pretty sure there's a deleted scene where they mention that it was initially meant to be about her (and I forget if it was intentional or just a piece of dramatic irony) essentially being a "tourist tourist."
Also I have a Chris Sanders art book and boy is he up there with Bruce Timm for "I have no idea how this person got a job at a children's animation company." Great character artists, though.

The pinups he drew after doing work on children's shows were pretty racy. I really liked this (I think he drew it):
And add Johnen Vassquez to that list of people if you haven't

To be fair, the entire reason Johnen was hired was because of how dark and grim his work was.

You're going to be SEVERELY disappointed if you go into Croods expecting it to look anything REMOTELY like the [absolutely gorgeous] concept art. Dreamworks has made some pretty gross looking humans in the past but the Croods are on another level of completely fucking disgusting. The movie is enjoyable enough but the characters are so distractingly ugly I could not get into it, especially since I have Chris' art for it hanging on my wall by my computer.
Maybe someday he'll get to do another movie that's actually in his style like Lilo & Stitch was, but in 3D. He wants to, we've talked about it, but he doesn't know when or if he'll ever get the chance.

That sucks. I'd think there'd be at least some demand for it though?

Prepare to be disappointed, on multiple fronts.
I bet they are tame compared to the people we don't know about.
Because it's not about content as much as form and technique. One of my colleagues on Facebook posts drawings of girls in swimsuits in super suggestive poses, nudes (not life-drawings), and other really racy stuff, but fucking hell if he isn't one of the most talented people I know. It's amazing how many bitter people we have in our studio working on super cheery happy Disney shows that you would never associate with them.

Oh totally. His art style is extremely unique and it translates really well into 3D. Dreamworks is the one 3D animation house that seems to actually experiment with visual styles (Madagascar is SO stylized in comparison to Shrek in comparison to Kung Fu Panda, for example) so you'd think they'd be the ones to actually do it an make a 3D movie in his visual style. All of the animals in Croods look JUST LIKE the concept art but the humans are so just painfully ugly it's not fair.
If he had stayed at Disney, then we would have seen his style in a 3D movie by now. Had Lasseter liked Sanders' quirky and odd story sensibilities, Bolt would have remained Hollywood Dog and it would have been Chris' style in perfect 3D Disney animation and it would have been glorious.

I think a more puzzling question is how the hell did this happen?
EDIT:
Are you saying you wouldn't?

Did dreamworks not want the croods to look at all like Lilo and Stitch?
I skipped to a random point in the vid. That huge dude from teh movie gets taken out in a second and Lilo's mom is alive??? I thought she was dead or something.

The Croods fully resembling his artwork wouldn't have saved that film. :\

Should have skipped a bit further.
"Lilo" is Lilo's daughter, and "Lilo's mom" is actually a grown up Lilo.

I'm assuming that list at the bottom are things they're not allowed to do in a children's shows. Why is "breaking glass" in there? Is that really a thing?
All of a sudden I understand Blame Space's disdain for the creepy-Woody figures.

what.
Yeah, it was presumably drawn out of frustration with th eFCC.The actual show featured all of that though, pretty much. Gordon got shot, plenty of broken glass, kids almost killed by trains, Batman says the words "crack house", Catwoman's pretty much naked, Harley in that see-through gown...
