The head turn is absolutely perfect.
The only thing I might suggest... is in regards to his hand gesture when he waves...
It looks like a hand gesture I see on the highway when I inadvertently cut someone off... if you follow me.
Considering his cute nature and the potential for the younger crowd seeing this... something to consider taking a look at... the younger audience won't be offended... but they might giggle and imitate.

Keep in mind, I may be overly sensitive to that particular hand gesture.
