Hi Mary,
Actually Audio description began in about 1981. afterwards WGBH who
started descriptive video in theaters produced and sold commercially
copies of many films classics that came out long beforehand like "the ten
Commandments," and cultural favorites like "the breakfast Club." One
could even rent / buy these editions in Blockbuster video stores.
granted even if the film was releases with description, experiencing this
in the theater itself was, and frankly remains quite hard. still ,
breakfast Club has been available with description for several years now.

Thanks, Tim. It does make sense. I was actually really surprised to see that
the two movies I am interested in were listed with audio description, since
both of them came out way before audio description was at all common. So, I
guess I will take the plunge and see what happens. I suppose I can always try
to get a refund if audio description is not there.

Hi,
As far as I know, if audio description is available for the individual titles,
then it will also be available in the bundle. I believe that Apple actually
only has one master download that is linked to multiple ways of accessing. In
fact, I've purchased bundles where the movie did not yet have audio
description, but within months it did. I did not need to purchase a new copy,
it just became audio described next time I watched it. Of course, this only
works if you stream it, or download the newest version from Apple, because a
downloaded version will not be updated.
I hope that this makes sense.
Later...

Does anyone have experience purchasing bundle of movies on iTunes? I have found
two separate movies on iTunes both of which say they have audio description.
You can also get both of them in a bundle, which costs less than if you
purchased the two movies separately. But when I look at the bundle, audio
description is not mentioned. Only closed captioning. I wonder if this is a
matter of space saving, or if, somehow, when you buy a bundle, audio
description gets left out. I would hate to spend 20 bucks and find out that I
lose audio description. Of course, it also doesn???t feel very good to have to
spend more to buy the films separately just in order to get audio description.
