I´m looking for a way to make business with Disney to promote my game…
is there any way to achieve this?.. Some experience ?
Thanks…
So this may sound a little harsh, but then, so are big companies when it comes to stuff like this.
First of all you need to ask yourself, why should Disney (or insert company here) promote your game? Why should they care? What’s special about it? Does [Insert company here] even provide that kind of service? Are you known? Do you have reputation? What are you prepared to give in return?
Then you need to look at the real options of how to promote your game like establishing yourself on social media, having a website with good content and possibly dev blogs, participating in large communities (preferably with links in your profile and threads about your work). Get out there in the real world, go to game dev meetups and conferences with a build of your game or a trailer and business cards, network and make connections.
You will never e-mail a company and strike up a business deal.

My question was in a global mode, i don´t want to deal with Disney right now… but else know the step to achieve this…
Thanks.
Be a huge company then you may have a chance
Aurore answered that already.
Wouldn’t the Lawyer of god already know the answer?
Unless you’re me! It’s certainly possible but you need to be pretty good at it, and of course have a proven track record.
Dear hippocoder, I have an awesome idea for a MMO, so I’ll give you the idea and then you make it and you can keep 25% of the profits! Write me back!

Welcome tothe world of business … lawyer… 
I have checked disney games web site and didnt see a game that any indie developer cant do… that is the point
It’s possible that I completely misunderstand what you are trying to say.
You can look at games on the Disney website, and use them as sources of inspiration for your own games. You’re not allowed to clone them, or create your own games that use Disney properties, or look similar to Disney games such that some end users thinks your game is a Disney game.
I think he is saying he checked out the games Disney developed and none of the games are special/advanced/beyond what an Indy developer can do. So considering an Indy can do whatever they do they should be willing to consider an offer from an Indy. That is what I got from it anyway.

Yeah, maybe. I’ve looked at a number of car websites, and I think the cars that manufacturers sell are no more complex than what I could design. So I’m going to do that, and then contact Lamborghini and let them have first rights to my cars. Or at least make business with Lamborghini to promote my cars.

GarBenjamin… that is what i was meaning…
Indeed here i have seen a lot of games that have better looking than disney´s one… i think Disney goal is not the GFX itself else the fun… so i thought that for an indie developer is not a big deal to present their projects to Disney…
Doesn’t Zombie Gorilla make games for Disney?

Graham Dunnett… you said it… there no TECHNICAL reason that you could not reach to Lamborghini if you get a good stuff… but i think your example is not aplicable to game development because the magnitude of difference my friend…
Do you think there must to be another requirement than a good game?..
well… thanks all for answering… i better forget it…
Don’t ever give up, because you never know what will happen unless you try.
But just get your foot into the door and start producing very very very popular games, that way you have something to backup your reputation as a good developer.
People don’t care who you are, as long as you produce results that the masses love.
Like I’m sure if you made a game and it instantly became a success within a month and got more popular than Angry Birds, I’m sure big corporations wouldn’t just slant an eye and push you along and forget about you… They would consider that you’re not obviously an average developer who makes tiny games for chump change by cloning everything.
What I said may or may not be the right path, but don’t ever give up hope or you’ll never know. Nothing worth it is given free, it takes a lot of work and dedication.

N1warheard… i´m sure of that too…
As i said… i checked Disney Game´s website, and could not found anything that any indie developer can´t do… games are so casuals, of course that does not means they aren´t funny… I´m pretty sure that many of developers here have made better games that ones posted on Disney website… that´s why i´m wondering myself … why we can´t do that too?.. but yes… is better to gain some reputation first…
I just remember something… did not unity used cartoon network license to make its amazing mmorpg ?.. i don´t remember what is the game name…
Why single out Disney? If their games can be done by an Indy Developer the same could be said for many other big game companies.
An experienced Indy developer could make any game (at least their version of it) given enough time and support with the art, music & sound. The big difference comes between the could [make it] and the did [make it] 
If you make a new game of the same quality and as family friendly as Disney’s lineup it seems like they may very well be interested in talking with you.
