It never matters what has been approved before. That said, unless Disney now has the legal right to forbid all licensing, you likely just got a bad reviewer. Have you tried resubmitting? Its possible Disney has changed the legalities.
Disney are very litigious Shutterstock are very risk averse so its likely that their rules have tightened. Whether legally they are in the right is academic - their site their rules.

Passed on Alamy, DT, ESPSent from my iPhone using TapatalkI can't comment on DT or ESP, but I can say that Alamy do not inspect images on upload for possible intellectual property issues. They only inspect for technical quality and regard other aspects of the upload (captions, keywords, releases) as the responsibility of the contributor. Microstockers who are used to having their hands held by inspectors at other agencies should beware when uploading to Alamy and take care to ensure that they are not infringing model or property rights.

Wonder why they havent removed the ones already on their site I see you are removing your Disney files from all sites, but I'm curious. When you said ESP what did you mean? If you meant submitting to iStock via ESP, I'm surprised the images were accepted as they say, "All Disney buildings, installations, products, including characters, names, and its logo are protected. Imagery containing any protected property of Disney is unsuitable for commercial use.Images of the above mentioned may be suitable as editorial content with permission from Disney."http://wiki.gettyimages.com/the-walt-disney-companyNote that Alamy does not inspect for IP: that's our responsibility. It takes six months (180 days) for content to be removed from Alamy, but in the case of IP, you can ask CR to remove them faster if you give them all the relevant file numbers.
