How to find audio described movies on the Apple TV?

Hi all:

A little help please?

I know how to search for movies and tv shows but, how do I find those that are described? I did find 3 of the Chipmunk movies described but, can't find other movies or tv shows. Do I need to put the movie or tv name in with the words audio described?

Thanks

You need to put the words audio disscribed or discsription.

So if yo-le looking fore the movie, Men In Black with audio disscription, you'd search for, Men In Black audio disscription

It works the iame way in iTunes. Hope this helps.

It doesn't work that way because when I look for certain films, it says zero items have been found. For instance, if I type in BatMan and the words audio description all spaced, nothing pops up. If I type in, Batman, then all comes up but, nothing with audio description.

You need to type the words AudioDescription without the title of the movie itself.

Typing in the movie title won't give you description unless you know to look for the AD symbol in the languages section, and for that you need to go into the movie details.

More work to do it that way.

Typing AudioDescription, will give you a list of described content.

Pity it's movies only.

I wish there was a way to request titles to be described.

For netflix it's pretty easy, just talk to support and they pass on your request.

Hi,
Sorry if this is off topic! Here is a website link for a list of audio described movies available in iTunes.

The AD Project also has a page for audio described tv shows etc. that is available on NetFlix etc. Hope this helps!

Two things in this post.
1. Thank you to the user that posted the link for the audio described movies. That helps if i want to find something actually.
2. Typing the words AudioDescribed, or AudioDescription doesn't work in the search area. I've tried both of those things. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but, i doubt it. I am using an Apple tv when doing all of this.
