A movie-theater chain is adding playgrounds in the theaters, and people are freaking out

Some kids going to see Disney's live-action remake of "Beauty and the Beast" next week will get a surprise when they find a playground inside the actual theater where they'll be watching the movie.

On Tuesday, theater chain Cinépolis USA announced it would unveil the country's first dedicated children's movie-theater auditoriums, called Cinépolis Junior.

Launching on March 16, the day before "Beauty and the Beast" opens in the US, the kid-friendly screens will roll out at Cinépolis Pico Rivera and Cinépolis Vista in Southern California, with more planned to pop up around the country in the near future. (Cinépolis has already opened these kinds of theaters internationally.)

Each auditorium will offer dedicated play areas, comfortable seating alternatives such as beanbags and lounge chairs, and even unique concession choices like popcorn flavors including Cheetos, chili, and caramel.

At a time when many theaters are doing more to limit disruptions, the gimmicks of the kid-friendly theaters horrified some people on social media, though it's hard to imagine a six-year-old disapproving of the setup.

Here's a glimpse at what the kid-friendly theaters with play areas look like:
