She was in her early to mid-30s for the first film (which is pretty old to be voicing a beloved 14 year old teenager with superpowers, granted we see actors that are older than 30 playing teenagers all the time), and is going to be nearing 50 when the sequel comes out (she's 48 right now and will be nearing 49 when the DVD/Blu-Ray comes out), she's literally old enough to be Holly Hunter's sister (who plays her character's mother in the two films).

I'm going to bet if we get a third film (let's face it, there's going to be one at some point, but not til like another 10-15 years), a recasting for Violet will need to happen with a much younger voice actress (which was originally intended in the first film, but they had a hard time finding a teenage girl who wanted to play Violet because they couldn't find the proper voice), plus Sarah can't go on playing Violet forever (just like what happened with Spencer Fox), it's even a miracle that she still sounds like Violet even as she's nearing 50.

Plus if a third film focuses on an older Violet (or even keeps Violet the same age as in the two films), Disney/Pixar will need to find someone who can match Vowell's voice.
