Disney/Pixar released minutes ago this new still from Cars 2, where Lightning McQueen meets Luigi's relatives, Mama and Uncle Topolino, and is invited made to stay in their home.
Along with the still, it's been announced that Mama Topolino (voiced by Vanessa Redgrave, who also voices The Queen) will be voiced by famed Italian actress Sofia Loren in other language dubs where the character only speaks in Italian.
Since this would presumably involve subtitles, why wasn't this approach followed for the English version?

I totally agree, they can solve the problem by adding that track to the bluray when it come out. Hear it Disney???
HA! It's funny!! "Topolino" is Italian for Mickey Mouse (no joke, you can check it out)
Ironic, don't you think?

The Mickey Mouse reference is actually secondary in this case.... What's more relevant is that Topolino (which means "little mouse") was the nickname given to the car which the character is based on, and from which the Fiat 500 (= Luigi) actually descended.
