Sophia Loren joins cast of Pixar’s Cars 2

I’ve resisted posting every image of every new celebrity introduced as a character on Disney•Pixar’s “Cars 2”, but I couldn’t resist when a classy actress like Sophia Loren was added to the list. So what if she’s only doing the versions translated into Italian.

It’s absolute amore when “Cars 2” races into a charming village near Porto Corsa, Italy, this summer: Lightning McQueen (center) is warmly welcomed by Luigi’s favorite uncle, Uncle Topolino (left), and his aunt, masterful cook Mama Topolino (right)—who’s voiced by Academy Award-winning actress Sophia Loren in 21 countries worldwide, including Italy, China, Russia, Brazil, Spain, Mexico, France and Japan, all of which will feature her lines in Italian.

Academy Award-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave provides the voice of Mama Topolino for the film’s release in English speaking countries, including the U.S. “Cars 2” hits the track on June 24, 2011, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D in select theaters.

Pixar has also released a new short clip titled: Tokyo – Party. Find it below the jump:

New Featurette for The Help

Here’s a movie that may be flying low on your radar. It’s called ‘The Help’ and I think it could be one of summer’s sleeper hits. Here’s the synopsis if you haven’t heard about it before:

Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award–nominated Viola Davis “(Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minnie—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk.

From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.

A new featurette has just been released. Check it out below the jump:
