I guess that would be my next concern. I don't have any personal assets but I would want the profits of the production to be protected and not drained by attorney fees so it's either sole proprietorship or corporation.

Actually, even if I protected myself from hefty legal fees by not producing under a corporation, I am assuming Disney will also go after distributors, affiliates, etc causing them not to want to market the video. This sounds to me like worse than me or my company being at risk since although I may be prepared to fight the battle, affiliates will throw in the towel with a simple Cease and Desist.
I guess that analogy answered my own question that it is not worth the risk given that I would not be the only one distributing / marketing it.
