Aardman’s next feature will be based around the Tortoise and the Hare and the third feature will be (hopefully) a Wallace and Gromit movie.
I hope the voice of Wallace (Peter Sallis) will still be around for it. A different voice would not be cool.

Hey, you’re the admitted mouthbreather. How can I even take you seriously? 
That was actually a funny comment, mb. At least we can find common ground in our mutual respect, admiration and love for Nick Park’s work.
And, GuanoLad, I agree that Wallace absolutely must have Peter Sallis’s voice. Still, if (God FORBID!) Sallis is not around anymore to make the movie, voice-over artists are extremely versatile. Just look at how well the classic WB characters have been done post-Blanc. Yes, they’re not the same, but they’re pretty damn close.
I’ve got all three Wallace and Grommits. Close Shave is my absolute favorite, with the sheep riding the motorcycle.
The biggest crack up in TWT is a toss up between the penguin shaped doggie-door, and the part where the penguin, disguised as a rooster, snaps the rubber golve off of his head, and Wallace recognizes him: “It’s YOU!!!”
As I have remarked in the “underappreciated movies” thread, I love good animation, and I’ve been following Nick Park since I saw Creature Comforts and A Grand Day Out when they first came out. But if you like this sort of thing you should have a look at the scandalously underappreciated Will Vinton, whose “The Adventures of Mark Twain” is WONDERFUL, but didn’t get a bit of the critical acclaim it deserves. You might also be able to find his other works on video – “Rip Van Winkle”, “The Little Prince”, “The California Raisins” (yep, he did those commercials), and “The Best of the Festival of Claymation”. He also did a lot of the special effects work for “Return to Oz”.
Will Vinton is also responsible for the TV series The PJs and Gary and Mike.
Second your appreciation for “The Adventures of Mark Twain”, Cal. He also did good work in another criminally underappreciated film, “Return to Oz” and in “The Neverending Story.” I didn’t like his California Raisins, though. Much too sinister.
