Disney+ Titles with Audio Description

Time to talk more Disney+!  After sharing my post detailing the Disney+ Accessibility Features, a lot of the discussion I saw on my social media feeds was about audio descriptions.  Unsurprisingly, the two questions I saw the most frequently were: “What is an audio description?” and “Is there a list of the Disney+ titles with audio description that will be available?”  Luckily, I have answers to both!

For those of you who don’t need a background on audio description and just want the movies and series, the following link will take you straight to the list of titles with audio description.

What is Audio Description?

Audio description provides information about visual details for those who may not be able to see them.  This can include descriptions of the setting, costumes, action, or non-verbal character reactions.  If you’ve read my post Creating an Accessible Instagram Account, think of it as alternative text, but for moving images.  An audio description track plays over of the movie, almost like a commentary track, except the additional narration only occurs during pauses in character dialogue.

If you’re curious what this sounds like, below is the Frozen trailer with the audio description.

Will There Be Disney+ Movie and Series with Audio Description?

The good news: YES! Disney+ includes almost 300 movies and series with descriptive audio, ranging from new movies like Noelle with Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader, animated classics like The Little Mermaid, and even some older live action films like 1969’s The Love Bug.  And once you set your primary audio to English (Audio Description), Disney+ will save that as your preference and automatically play it for any other title with audio description. If descriptive audio isn’t available, it will play the standard English audio.

The bad news: Unlike other streaming platforms with have categories to filter titles with audio description or bring up a list of titles when you enter “audio description” into the search, there is no way while using Disney+ to tell if what you are about to watch has audio description available until you start playing it.

I will do my best to keep this list updated as new titles are added, but I would also encourage you to visit the Audio Description Project. Maintained and organized by the American Council of the Blind, they will have the most accurate and updated listings of titles with audio description for Disney+, as well as all other streaming platforms.

Recently Removed

Most streaming services cycle through what titles are available, usually due to licensing agreements,  and Disney+ is continuing that trend.  The following titles with audio description that were previously available have been recently removed:

• Alice Through the Looking Glass
• The Shaggy Dog (2006)
• Strange Magic

While it’s disappointing to say goodbye to films on occasion, the good news is that with Disney owning all of this content, more than likely it will return to the platform at some point.

Coming Soon

In addition to all of the Disney+ titles with audio description listed above, Disney has listed some movies on their platform with “Coming Soon” dates.  Most of these movies have a delayed arrival to Disney+ because they were already made available to other streaming services and Disney won’t be able to start streaming them until those existing agreements expire or reach their end date.  But here are some additional movies with audio description we can look forward to being added to Disney+ over the next two years!
