From Cartoon Brew, we get this:
One of my biggest grievances against contemporary animation is that characters won't shut up. Too often in American animation, dialogue is used as a substitute for storytelling, acting, and communication between characters.
For what it's worth, my next short ("We, Robot"...one of these days I'll set up a site for it) will have zero dialogue, at least in English. There will be some grunting and other vocalizations, but it certainly won't be "talky."
