Nope. They don't get any kind of royalties or residuals. Works created under contract are property of the owner not the author. Sometimes Disney will opt to add a thank you credit or send a small check their way but they aren't even obligated to do that.

I can’t believe they would do something so awful.
I wonder if artists could unionize for better options..?
