Can the use of expressive body language in an animated character replace the need for short pieces of dialogue in an animation?
I'm quite interested in studying the relationship between body language and the dialogue because this will be relevant when i am animating a character.
Here is my reading list:

The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston

The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard E. Williams
Acting for Animators by Ed Hooks

The Art of WALL.E: Tim Hauser, Andrew Stanton

Lost and Found: the story of the film
