(DMA) will include a free audio descriptive narration feature for
low-vision and blind audiences. Developed over the past few years and
expanding upon existing technology, each narration has been carefully
crafted to ensure a truly rich and personal experience for the visually
impaired community. Pixar Animation Studios plans to make this a
standard offering on all future titles, confirming their dedication to
bringing the entertainment experience to all audiences.
How It Works: Consumers will need to have a Disney Movies Anywhere App
downloaded onto an iPhone® or iPad® running iOS 7 or above in order to
use this technology.
Consumers can activate "Audio Description" on their iPhone® and iPad® by
going to the "Access" section under "Settings" in the Disney Movies
Anywhere App. Once activated, they can find supported titles through the
Audio Descriptive (AD) button on the featured tab.
Once a film is chosen and playing on any separate platform the user can
push the "Sync & Play Audio" button within the Disney Movies Anywhere
App to initiate syncing and playback of the accompanying narration,
creating an audio guide of the film. Now all families can enjoy
Disney*Pixar movies together.

About Audio Descriptive Narration: Audio descriptive narration
provides visually impaired audiences with the unique experience of being
able to enjoy watching/listening to a film alongside their family and
friends. Key visual elements of the film are inserted as an audio guide
to help low-vision viewers get a more comprehensive understanding of the
film. These key visual elements include actions, costumes, gestures,
facial expressions, scene changes and onscreen text. The fact that the
narration track can sync with the movie as it plays in the background is
a new feature for the Disney Movies Anywhere App and one that greatly
enhances existing technology.
Miscellaneous: Currently only available on the Disney Movies Anywhere
App for iPhone® and iPad® in the US. Audio synchronization technology is
provided by Audible Magic.
