One large difference in the color choices between the two pictures is the amount of saturation in the colors. While there is a decent amount of colors in #1, those colors are not very saturated.  This lack of saturation leaves less colorful elements such as the characters' faces as a point of interest instead of letting the eye quickly wander around #2.  Also, the amount of hues in #2 helps to set it apart from #1.  The varying amounts of colors gives the scene a very active feeling, with many different colors occurring very closely to one another.  When comparing the two pictures, #2's saturation prevents it from being as bright as #1.  The colors are vivid and deep, offering a much richer palette.  This also causes #1 to look much more serious in comparison.
The movement is a huge difference between the two, offering very different ideas.  #1 features forward action, suggesting that they are moving toward us.  Their legs mid step, and their arms slightly forward, it is easy to see that they are walking.  This not only gives them movement, but instills emotion into their rather blank faces.  This compared with the obvious dancing motions of those in #2 offer up a significant amount of movement and line in one picture.  #1's parallel movements instill a sense of a group into the the 3 characters, adding an extra layer of determination to their faces.  Weight plays a much larger role in #1 than #2. In #1 it completely describes the movement and momentum of the characters, while in #2 it play very little role, because the characters are motionless at this moment.
