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.

The seafood chain Red Lobster is exploring a potential Chapter 11 filing to restructure its debts, based on insider insights.

Quick Glance: Orlando may boost massive Magic entertainment district

The Magic’s planned entertainment complex next to the Kia Center, costing half a billion dollars, could receive support from City Hall next week.

The proposed Sports and Entertainment District spans more than eight acres between Hughey Avenue and Division Street and is set to include office space, retail, hotel, meeting rooms, and apartments.

The incentive measure plays a crucial role in advancing the development, with construction scheduled to commence next year and finish by 2027, according to David Barilla, executive director of the Community Redevelopment Agency.

The current proposal outlines 273 apartments in the initial construction phase, with 10 of them designated as 'attainable' for families earning 80% or less of the median income range.

The Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’ Film Will Stream After 54 Years on Disney+: Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s unloved — or misinterpreted? — 1970 documentary ...

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.

Quick Glance: Musk Plans Fee for New X Users

Elon Musk intends to charge new users of X in the initial months to curb the activity of automated bot accounts.

The fee is set to be waived after three months to allow free posting.

Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee as a countermeasure against bots.

Declining revenues at X post-rebranding and Twitter acquisition, along with a negative brand perception by companies, are impacting the service's business.

Quick Glance: Tension Rises in Mayor of Kingstown Season 3

Jeremy Renner returns as Mike McLusky, taking on the role of the 'mayor' of the prison town Kingstown.

The impressive preview of the upcoming third season showcases his agility and quick-wittedness in confrontations.

The residents of Kingstown are shaken by a series of explosions in the third season, as a new member of the Russian Mafia settles in the city and a drug war rages both inside and outside the prison walls.

The challenge now falls on Mike McLusky to end this conflict, but the situation becomes complicated when a familiar face from his past as an inmate threatens to undermine the mayor's efforts to preserve peace among all factions.
