Quick Glance: Disneyland performers seek unionization
- Performers who assist in bringing Disney's popular characters to life in the Southern California theme parks filed a petition on Wednesday to form a labor union.
- The workers, including parade performers, character actors, and support staff at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, requested The Walt Disney Co. to recognize the union they are calling "Magic United."
- A significant portion of the over 35,000 workers at the Disneyland Resort, which includes the theme parks, are already unionized. Parade and character workers announced their plans to unionize in February under the Actors' Equity Association.
- Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for decades, but organizations have seen growing public support in recent years. The NLRB, which protects workers' rights, reported over 2,500 filings for union representation in the 2023 fiscal year, the highest number in eight years.

Quick Glance: The Beatles Documentary 'Let It Be' Restored by Peter Jackson Coming to Disney+ Soon
- The film 'Let It Be,' which captured The Beatles' final group performance and remained hidden for five decades, is set to make a comeback on Disney+ with an elaborate restoration by Peter Jackson. The revamped version is scheduled to premiere on the streaming platform on May 8.
- Peter Jackson's award-winning 2021 docuseries 'The Beatles: Get Back' included footage originally intended for 'Let It Be.' The success of the series prompted Apple Corps to commission Jackson's Park Road Post Production for a meticulous restoration of the film from the original 16mm negative. This process also involved enhancing the sound quality using technology similar to what Jackson utilized in the 'Get Back' series.
- The film features a wealth of footage from the studio session in January 1969, during which John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr - accompanied by keyboardist Billy Preston - crafted the 'Let It Be' album, recorded music, and performed atop Apple's London headquarters.
- Initially, the critically acclaimed album, winner of multiple Grammys, faced delays due to internal band tensions. However, Lennon enlisted producer Phil Spector to help finalize it as preparations for the film's theatrical release were underway.
