Hi. I always felt that the end of act one was after Woody attempts to have Buzz fall behind the dresser. It was the key decision point, the protagonists fateful choice, that spins the story in a different direction. The other toys are pissed off that Woody did this and won’t accept him again unless he “makes things right.” Indeed, this sets up Woody’s main goal for the rest of the movie, and is all a consequence of his end-of-act 1 decision. Incidentally, at apx 25 min into movie. Armdt said as much in his animated “Setting the Story in Motion”. The way Guilino has it, it occurs somewhere in the start of act two, in the third sequence, but it’s such an important event in the film ( and choice for the character) that it seems misplaced there.
