LAYTON — Our zoo pals Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria again hit the road for home and wind up instead in a traveling circus in “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted.”

The new film will play — in a sensory friendly format for families with members with autism — at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 16, at the Layton Hills 9, 728 W. 1425 North.

The movie, which is presented in partnership with the Autism Society, is screened with the sound turned down and the house lights turned up. Moviegoers may walk around the theater and talk, and they are welcome to bring in their own casein-free and gluten-free snacks.

The PG film features the voices of Ben Stiller as Alex the lion, Chris Rock as Marty the zebra, David Schwimmer as Melman the giraffe and Jada Pinkett Smith as Gloria the hippo.

Admission is $4.
