‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Sensory Friendly Screening
Everyone deserves the chance to experience this family-friendly adventure at The Lindsay!
June 21 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am
Hiccup and Toothless forge the kind of heartwarming bond that everyone should be able to enjoy.
That’s why we planned a sensory friendly How to Train Your Dragon screening for Saturday, June 21, at 9 a.m. Tickets for this showing are on sale for our discounted rate of $8.75.
How to Train Your Dragon, which starts playing at The Lindsay on June 13, is the live-action remake of DreamWorks Animation’s 2010 adventure about an eager Viking who unexpectedly befriends an injured dragon.
The original How to Train Your Dragon was directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, the duo behind Lilo & Stitch. Dubois returned to the Isle of Berk as the sole director of this live-action reimagining. Gerard Butler, who voiced Viking Chief Stoick the Vast in the first HTTYD, plays the same character in live action.
The Lindsay has been proudly holding sensory friendly screenings since 2017. These screenings provide an option for families, children and adults impacted by autism and other special needs to watch films together in a low-stress environment.
We lower the film’s volume, keep on dim house lights, and have a door open to restrooms and the lobby throughout the film. Trailers are eliminated to reduce the necessary “sit time.” Staffing levels are also increased to allow a personal, unhurried cinematic experience for everyone.
The Lindsay usually offers sensory friendly screenings of every family-friendly film we play. Recent examples include sensory friendly screenings of Mufasa: The Lion King, Paddington in Peru, Snow White, A Minecraft Movie, and Lilo & Stitch.
