Well, the French versions (Parisean French, not Quebecquois French) probably 
already exist and are sold at EuroDisney. However, Disney probably figures 
the Quebec market is small and the expense of setting up a store isn't worth 
it.
However, they would have to monitor that anything in English didn't exceed 
the permitted display space so the language police wouldn't nail them.
