Sensory Friendly Puss in Boots

Just a friendly heads-up that tomorrow (November 5th) AMC Theatres is having their Sensory Friendly Viewing of Puss n Boots at 10:00am Nationwide.

 

From the AMC website

The program provides a special opportunity for families to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment. The auditoriums dedicated to the program have their lights up, the sound turned down and audience members are invited to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing!

The idea for the program began with a request from a parent with an autistic child for a special screening at AMC Columbia Mall 14 in Columbia, MD. More than 300 children and parents attended the first screening.

We are thrilled to now offer the program at many locations nationwide — please click here for a complete list of participating theatres. As a leading theatrical exhibition company, we are so proud to be making a difference in the estimated 1.5 million Americans living with an autism spectrum disorder by offering families a chance to see a movie together — often for the very first time.

If the movie theater experience usually makes you cringe, this might be a great option for you. There are a ton of theatres nationwide participating.  Yay AMC! :)

Do you have plans to see this movie?  It looks hilarious!
