R1: Yes, I'm well aware that I overcomplicated the start significantly!

That's the thing when it comes to solving levels in the game: A lot of the time you cannot take into account every single thing a player might try, especially with very messy and fiddly methods with heavy timing elements. Most of the time, designers tend to keep intended solutions very efficient and clean and hence the messy stuff from the player is all self-inflicted. As for the repetitiveness at the end, again it's not you, it just happens to be something that I'm not a fan of when skills have to be assigned repeatedly in a very short amount of time

R3: Lol I'm probably the biggest Pixar/Disney fan you will come to know!

"Toy Story" happens to be a favorite of mine, so yes the reference in the level title was quite obvious to me

Especially if you've existed on this planet for as long as I have

Yea, I'm an oldie and am nearly twice your age

I've watched nearly all of them growing up, though there's still a handful I haven't seen.
