Toy Story 3 Scene Symmetry

Looking through the contrasting rejected/accepted handshake scenes in Toy Story 3 made me realize there were more parallels than just Buzz offering his hand to Woody. Observe how in the earlier scene in the movie, Woody walks away (while everyone else is still), stops when he doesn't hear Buzz following, and turns his head to look in his direction.

Then later, during the incinerator scene, Woody does nearly the same thing: he crawls (while everyone else is still), stops when he notices Buzz/everyone aren't moving, and turns his head to look in Buzz's direction, both times in confusion/surprise.

In the Sunnyside scene, Buzz is the only one to move and does so to offer his hand. In the incinerator scene, Buzz is the only one to move to offer his hand. But also pay attention to which toys are behind him in each scene.

(Granted, Bullseye is farther back in the first scene, but he's still in the shot and beside Jessie even if only in the background. Also note that Buzz looks solemn both times he offers his hand.)

Maybe this is just me looking too closely at it lol But even if unintended, it's cool how all the little details lined up.
