Why is the crowd in the background so far away? Other than terrible looking CG. It looks really awkward for there to be that much open space.

I feel that the large space gives the feeling of reverence that the people feel for the characters - and they transform into giant beasts and start running around so the amount of space is actually appropriate for that - like the space used for a bullfight.

Can someone explain to me how they get the animation to flow so smooth? It's probably a dumb question, but is there name for the process?

Not sure I understood your question correctly but:

- first the key animator draws the key poses (top-right), basically it's the animation but without the in-between frames that makes it smooth. So actually the key animation does the "animation thinking".

- then the inbetweener fills the blank (by drawing) between the key frames so that it's smooth (bottom-left), it's easier to fill the blank than to plan the key poses because he can use the previous and following poses as a base so that's why the less experimented guy does it (usually), then the key animator can concentrate fully on the harder key poses. That is not done by a software though if you thought it might be the case.

The process is called inbetweening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0mlCb7RxEA

The timing is really sluggish and awkward.
