Best Answer

You need to be a direct manufacturer to get any Disney License. You cannot be a middle man. You need to have at least 5 years of experience manufacturing the product you intend to license with Disney. Then you need a lot of money as you will have to pay a percentage of the royalties up front (this runs about 13% to 18% of your wholesale sales forecast for your first year).

Once you have the above covered, you then need to send in a proposal to Disney Consumer Products. Once they approve your item, you will work with them to approve your packaging and marketing plan.

It depends on your proposed use. Print rights for older songs go to the Bourne Company, while newer songs are handled by Hal Leonard. Performance rights are typically through ASCAP or BMI (depending on who the composer was). Some mechanical licenses may be obtained through Harry Fox Agency, but some must be licensed directly. Other licenses go to Disney directly.

You need to request permission in writing, addressed to the 500 S. Buena Vista address. They are not required to respond, and lack of a response does not mean tacit approval.

You must send email to:

musicpublishing@gisney.com

The subject line of the email must read: Disney Music Use Inquiry

List all compositions and excerpt to be performed, the name of the organization, the time of arrangements and number of performances.

Only after they have responded in writing and you have executed the contract, including royalties, do you then have permission to perform the music publicly.

How do you get a Disney copyright permission to quote 2 lines from a film?

To request copyright permission for a Disney property, write to the Permissions Department at the Disney organization. However, there is a 'fair use' doctrine in copyright that permits a limited amount of use without permission. While it is not precisely defined, this is the provision that allows a writer to quote a few lines from a book or movie in a review without seeking permission. Two lines from a film may well be 'fair use' and quoting such a small part of the work would not then require permission of the copyright holder.

Can you sell a handmade craft with a Disney character?

It's to your best interest to contact 'Disney' and ask their permission. If your craft should take-off then you can't use it as it's an infringement. If you are just doing it for a child or in a nursery then there should be no problem and you don't need permission. A young woman in Vancouver, B.C. started up a Bistro and she loved Robert deNiro so much she named it 'Raging Bull' and Mr. deNiro sent someone out to tell her to take down the sing and a letter ensued and it was rather blunt.

Is it illegal to create a DVD using videos from you tube like if you wanted to burn the movie the lion king is that legal?

Yes, it is illegal. The person who uploaded the video is violating copyright, and you are violating copyright in downloading and burning it. The law against copyright prevents you from *copying* things - ie. uploading them to YouTube, or burning them - without permission. So it does not matter where you get a copy of The Lion King from, if you copy it yourself by burning it without permission of the copyright holder, ie. Disney, you are breaking copyright law.
