Be Sure to Go See "Wreck It Ralph" Tomorrow as AMC's #Autism "Sensory Friendly Film"!!


If you haven't had the chance to enjoy a "Sensory Friendly Film", you may want to try to get your family out of the house just a little earlier tomorrow morning! The new Disney movie "Wreck It Ralphwill be showing at AMC Quail Springs 24 and AMC Crossroads 16 Theatres tomorrow, Saturday, November 10th at 10 a.m. We hope that your family will be able to make it out tomorrow morning...see YOU there!

AMC Theatres (AMC) and the Autism Society have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other disabilities a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis with the "Sensory Friendly Films" program. In order to provide a more comfortable setting for this unique audience, the movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing - in other words, AMC’s “Silence is Golden®” policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned.

  1. We saw Wreck Ralph the other day and the boys absolutely loved it!! We did see it with the lights down and volume way up, and WARNING WARNING, bring your earplugs!

    It was a great movie, but I was so glad that I had my earplugs with I would not have survived without them.

    1. Jeannie,

      The boys and I saw it this morning and absolutely enjoyed it!

      It really makes a difference when the volume of a movie is so loud that it is almost intolerable.

      You are smart to carry earplugs, my friend!

  2. My son went to see it with a friend. Although he is almost 17, he absolutely loved it.

    1. Pamela,

      That's wonderful! I have figured out that it doesn't matter how old or young someone is when it comes to enjoying a good movie!!
