What else where they soposed to use? Video of a flushing toilet?
Maybe pay for the use of the footage. Disney would demand it if they owned the footage. What goes around, comes around.

LOL, a few years ago I went to a regional theater production of the "motown" story. only problem was they never obtained the rights to play the music.
Well I can tell you there were a lot of ed off theater goers demanding their money back because of course the producers did not inform folks that we would be hearing "gospel" music instead of the Temptations.
To add insult to injury, there was an enterprising you man outside the theater doors selling CD's of motown hits. LOL
Bottom line, if you want to use someone's intellectual property simply pay to use it. @Darkbeer1 is absolutely correct, Disney would have their lawyers out in masse if someone used their characters.
Heck, they went after some poor soul on ETSY that was selling magic band coverings with characters on it.

Or the time that a daycare center in Central Florida had painted Disney characters on their walls and forced them to remove them. Luckily for them Universal stepped in and was generous enough to allow them to use their characters. This was around the time Universal Studios Florida first opened.
