AMC Theaters to Offer "Sensory Friendly Films"

AMC Theaters and the Autism Society have teamed up to bring families of children with sensory needs a way to see their favorite movies. Each month there will be a showing of "Sensory Friendly Films", which is a new program at AMC.
The movie auditoriums will have their lights on and the sound will be turned down. Families will also be able to bring in their own healthy snacks and there will be no previews. Talking will be allowed as long as it is not disruptive to others.The next showing is May 22 and the movie is Shrek Forever After. In June there is a showing of Toy Story 3. Theaters that are participating in the Dallas area include AMC Stonebriar 24 in Frisco and AMC Firewheel in Garland.
