Disney Press Audiobooks

About Disney Press

Within Disney Publishing Worldwide, Disney Press is the imprint that handles storybooks and chapter books drawn directly from the studio’s films, the Pixar catalogue included. Where other parts of the group look after magazines, learning titles or licensed franchises, this is the line that turns a released film into something a child can hold, read and hear.

The craft involved is more particular than it looks. A ninety-minute film has to become a story that works without pictures, keeping the characters recognisable, trimming the plot to a shape a young listener can follow, and landing on a length that fits a bedtime or a school run. Original adventures that extend a film’s world sit alongside the retellings, giving familiar characters somewhere new to go without contradicting anything that happened on screen.

The tone throughout is warm, quick and entirely unafraid of silliness, which is precisely what the audience is there for.

What is lined up under this name has not gone live yet, so treat this page as somewhere to check back rather than a shelf to raid tonight.

Disney Agent Stitch: The M-Files: Rise of the Mansquito is the obvious draw for anyone who grew up with Lilo and Stitch, running two hours and forty-three minutes and read by Chris Sanders, the voice of Stitch himself. Disney Frozen: Olaf’s Quest is shorter still at two hours and twenty-two minutes, narrated by Jake Green and aimed at the younger end of the range.

Neither carries ratings yet, which is simply what a scheduled title looks like before release. Each sits comfortably inside a single long car journey, and both appear below.
