Audible and Disney Publishing have teamed up to bring three new Audible Originals on top of a slate of Disney audiobooks to their new Kids Profiles.
What’s Happening:
- Audible and Disney Publishing have recently released three new Audible Originals, based on various stories from the Disney-owned universe.
- These stories, based on Star Wars, Pixar Animation Studio’s Cars, and Walt Disney Animation Studio’s Frozen, join 60 audiobooks featuring stories based on Pixar’s Finding Dory, Toy Story, Disney Animation’s Mulan, and Marvel’s Avengers.
- This new content comes after Audible’s recent launch of Kids Profiles, a new kid-friendly listening space on Audible that allows parents to easily share titles with their children in a parent-controlled environment right from within the Audible app. In these new Kids Profiles, kids will only be able to see and listen to titles that were shared (by parents) with them.
- All of these stories and audiobooks are now available on Audible, accessible through the official website, here..
