I'm in the camp of liking the Pixar "silents" less than the talkies. I admire the no-dialogue achievements of the UP montage and the Wall-E first half. But I think those are easy to achieve with animation. Comparisons to live action on this score are not fair.
I think it's harder to achieve animation excellence with dialogue-driven stories or segments, and I do in fact prefer the 3 Gemini Cricket mentioned over UP or Wall-E. But there we go ranking children again. To say I prefer Finding Nemo over UP ignores that I prefer UP over just about any movie I've seen in the last couple of years.
