Remember the Media Access Group at WGBH?  We wrote about them in our Accessible Movie Theaters post a while ago.  Now we are pleased to discover that this fine organization has complied a comprehensive list of movies that are available on DVD with audio description.

Audio description allows for more accessibility among people with disabilities.  Without it, a person with low vision would not be able to enjoy films in the same capacity that people without low vision do.  Audio description typically narrates characters, actions, scenery, and is careful not to overlap the movie’s dialog.  This is done by the Descriptive Video Service (DVS).

If you buy a DVD through Amazon via the Media Access Group website, the nonprofit organization will receive a portion of the proceeds.

Some of the DVDs listed include Up, Cinderella Man, 500 Days of Summer, Avatar, Julie & Julia, Public Enemies, and Toy Story.  Click here for the complete list.
