DVDs and Blu-ray Discs With Audio Description

PointerJump to DVD Descriptions and Ordering Information.

On this page we list details about all the first-run movies in the USA that have been released in 2012 with audio description tracks on DVDs and Blu-ray discs along with links to purchase them via Amazon.  Purchasing them via our links helps pay for this website!  CAUTION:  Universal Pictures RENTAL versions prior to mid-July 2012 do not contain description.  You can follow the announcements as they occur via our Facebook page.  This page is generally updated on Tuesday or Wednesday of each week in which a newly described DVD is released.

Audio description on a disc is generally listed under Languages on the back cover as "English Audio Description" or "English DVS."  Director's Cuts or Unrated versions sometimes do not have description, though that is less common now.  Your best bet is to order the theatrical version when available and order via Amazon, not their Marketplace sellers.  While we typically link to the DVD disc on Amazon, generally the Blu-ray versions of DVDs listed here since the fall of 2009 also have description.  Simply follow the link provided within Amazon to the Blu-ray version, if you prefer that format.

Accessing the Audio Description Track on DVDs

With a few exceptions (such as  Moulin Rouge and Up), you should be able to access the Audio Description track by pressing the "Audio" button repeatedly on your remote until you hear description (an easy alternative for users who are blind and can't navigate to the Languages menu).  New Disney Pixar releases starting November 2010 let you select AD when you insert the DVD, as noted in the 2010 listing.

There is a software product available which will allow you to extract the audio track (including the description track) from a DVD and convert it to MP3 or other formats.  This may be useful for people who are totally blind and don't need the video.  For more information, see Computer Application Studio's DVD Audio Extractor, which is free to try for 30 days.  Reportedly KMPlayer, which is free, can also be used to listen to the AD track.

No major commercial Internet service (such as Netflix) is known to offer audio description on any of their movies available for downloading/streaming.  (Zediva was an exception, but it has shut down.)  If you belong to any such service or wish to, please write them and ask them to provide this service!

If you want to borrow described DVDs, see our list of locations to borrow DVDs by state.  For audio described DVDs outside the USA, see our International page.
