IMO it deserves to be respected not only as an animated film, but a great movie as a whole. Pixar is the gold standard for these types of movies.

Oh no argument from me on this. Some recent animated movies (and I am thinking PIXAR here like you and so many others I am sure) have put too shame many movies in the last decade. But it come's down to what I said, why have categories then? Let's have them all in one category, Best Picture and that is it. They are all movies and judge them all on that fact alone. The reason they setup categories is that so many feel a animated movie should not be look upon in the same fashion as a "real movie". The real movies required more work, have actors and directors, are more difficult to setup for cinematography and scripts.....you get the picture.
They will argue to their last breath that a animation movie will never be fit to lick the boots of a real movie.
