The three Peanuts specials—1963’s A Charlie Brown Christmas, 1966’s It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and 1973’s A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving—ran every year on ABC. However, Apple has acquired the rights for the movies for its streaming service, Apple TV+ and pulled the animated specials off the air. The fans were not happy about it.

Fans took to do what fans do best online—campaigning and petitioning. Luckily for all, the tech giant heeded the popular petition and the hashtag created for the campaign, #AppleHatesTradition and will air the Christmas and Thanksgiving specials, commercial-free on PBS on November 22th and on PBS KIDS on December 13th.

It should be noted that in any case, Apple was planning to make the specials available for free to non-subscribers on its service. It has already happened with It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, which was available from October 30th to November 1st. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving will be available from November 25th to the 27th. A Charlie Brown Christmas will stream for free from December 11th to the 13th.

 Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry is an Apple Original Films production, directed by R.J. Cutler. The film will be released to theaters and Apple TV+ in February 2021.

The teaser released by the studio shows footage of the young singer as a kid. The documentary will probably focus on her upbringing—as the documentary is a collaboration with Eilish’s label Interscope Records, the Hollywood Reporter says that “Cutler was granted deep access to Eilish’s private moments with family and behind-the-scenes of her public appearances.”

According to some reports, Apple spent an eight-figure sum in order to make the movie an Apple original. Eilish won five Grammy awards in January for her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?—Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album.

Cook also revealed the pricing for the service. A subscription will cost $4.99 per month, as opposed to a former prediction that talked about a $9.99 per month price tag. In addition, a free yearly subscription will be offered to anyone who’ll buy an Apple product, may it be an iPhone, an iPad, an Apple Watch or a Mac. New shows will be added monthly to the service.

With this low pricing and early release date – before Disney+ – Apple set itself as a force to be reckoned with in the streaming field, positioning itself as an attractive option against the other newcomer and older services such as Netflix or Amazon.

Apple also announced Apple Arcade – a gaming service which promises to take cellular gaming to the next level.

The unlikely pair of Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry will be collaborating on a new documentary series which pits mental health under the spotlight.

Oprah announced during the Apple+ launch last month that she would be producing two documentaries for the new streaming service — one on sexual harassment in the workplace, and the other being a multi-part documentary series on mental health.

It has now been revealed that the expectant father will serve as co-creator and executive producer of the latter which aims to inspire people to be open and honest in conversations surrounding mental health and end the stigma.

“I truly believe that good mental health — mental fitness — is the key to powerful leadership, productive communities, and a purpose-driven self. It is a huge responsibility to get this right as we bring you the facts, the science, and the awareness of a subject that is so relevant during these times,”Harry said in a statement. “Our hope is that this series will be positive, enlightening, and inclusive — sharing global stories of unparalleled human spirit fighting back from the darkest places and the opportunity for us to understand ourselves and those around us better. I am incredibly proud to be working alongside Oprah on this vital series.”

We are royally excited!
