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.
