Disney+ was rightly praised by the visually impaired and blind communities with their announcement that all of the movies and series created for the platform would arrive with audio description. But one thing that has gone under the radar is how many of their older films and animated shorts have had audio description added as well! This isn’t only new titles that they’re adding to Disney+; they’ve quietly been adding it to their existing list of movies and series each week. This includes many titles from the 30s-70s. which generally are rarely audio described. As a companion to my alphabetical list of Disney+ Titles with Audio Description, I wanted to also provide a list of the films, series, and shorts available on Disney+ with audio description by year in case you want to find out which older films you can now enjoy with audio description!
For the most up to date list of all movies on Disney+, and other streaming services, make sure to visit the Audio Description Project sponsored by the American Council for the Blind.
