They are asking the court to ensure that they have permissions to do it. This is way cheaper than broadcasting the ad and getting sued later.
Now if they lose the suit, they are just out lawyers expenses.
If they push the ad, they could get sued for a billion dollars. So the liability is a lot lower now.
I am not sure why you would want to make that particular ad SO MUCH that paying lawyers to sue disney for permission makes sense. But maybe the ad is just THAT good!
