The screening of their new film,<em> The Good Dinosaur</em>, included the debut of a new audio description app. The audio description was excellent: an app that you download and then listened to on your own device. May this be the future, but hopefully with a single app for all theaters or one that disappears after a screening rather than the predictable, American free-market scenario of needing to download a different app for every company. Thank you Pixar, Disney, and SF Lighthouse! The future looks promising for blind and low vision movie-goers!</p> <p><img alt="Cathy Kudlick stands next to Arlo the dinosaur, wearing glasses, with a miniature white cane, and service dog." class="alignnone size-full wp-image-511 img-responsive" height="960" src="https://longmoreinstitute.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/11224873_1658671984371500_6826639969241729634_n.jpg" width="720" /> At the end, the blind organizations gave Pixar a 6-inch replica of the little green dinosaur Arlo with a tiny white cane, glasses, and service dog.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/catherine-kudlick">Catherine Kudlick</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/guide-dogs-blind">Guide Dogs for the Blind</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/lighthouse-blind-and-visually-impaired">LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/pixar">Pixar</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/blind-babies-foundation">The Blind Babies Foundation</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/good-dinosaur">The Good Dinosaur</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/uncategorized">Uncategorized</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/white-canes-red-carpet">White Canes Red Carpet</a></div></div></div> Fri, 11 Dec 2015 18:24:08 +0000 Visitor 1257 at https://for-import-sfstatelongmoreinstitute.pantheonsite.io https://for-import-sfstatelongmoreinstitute.pantheonsite.io/white-canes-red-carpet#comments
