Along with Wayne's good info, they have added audio description to a lot of older films. We watched White Christmas with Bing Crosby last week and I was pleasantly surprised to find it has audio description. That movie came out in 1954, long before anyone thought of audio description. They've done that too with lots of their old animated programs like the original Peter Pan from 1953 I think.
It is a great service. Richard, in the U.S. "You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why, what did she tell you?" "I don't know, I didn't listen." -- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy * I'm not the card shark * My web site, www.turner42.com * -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Monday, January 4, 2021 10:02 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Disney Plus and descriptive audio When Disney Plus first started over a year ago, I called Aira for help. However, the app has gotten better. When playing a show/movie, go to the audio and subtitles button on screen, when moving through the screen, find the English audio description item and activate it. Note, you will have to be playing a title which has description already for this to show up. Refer to the Audio Description Project link which was posted in an earlier message for the full list of titles. However, all Disney Plus original programming, such as Soul and any other Disney Original show or movie, will have description. You may find it easier to enable audio description with the movie or show paused. When I did this in November 2018, Aira made the change on their web browser and it was remembered and retained across any devices on my account. I would imagine this would still be the case today though your mileage may vary.
