Stolen Kingdom is a documentary that delves into the history of mischief, scandal, and theft at Walt Disney World, ultimately leading to the theft of an animatronic valued at nearly half a million dollars. The film features key figures from the park's underground exploration community, each sharing their unique stories. As the narrative unfolds, early pranks and antics are shown to have inspired more recent crimes, culminating in a true crime mystery. What begins as a tale of friendship and passion ends with one lingering question: Who stole Buzzy?

Whether you’re looking for deeper dives into the dark side of Disney adults, or want to see what happens when classic Florida guys leap headlong into the Greatest Place on Earth, this is a great way to start.

A highly entertaining true crime documentary with the thrills of a feel-good heist film, a cast full of interesting characters and genuine friendships, and a compelling mystery that leaves us wanting more.

...a stirring documentary that shines a light on a decidedly under-the-radar subculture.

Buzzy is therefore an entry point into the origins of a growing subculture of fans willing to put their freedom on the line to experience that which they are barred from experiencing.

[The] thrill of forbidden access and the cost of greed and ego [are] all on display in this unique study of outlier mentality.

I just saw this today in Charlotte, NC. It is the BEST!!!! If you are fan of urban exploration and Disney this is a must see! The film highlights a lot of behind the scenes footage and interviews some of the first Disney behind the scenes explorers including Adam - thank you for putting in the memorial to Adam at the end of the film. It is a really cool history of how people got started and were inspired to capture the behind the scenes footage. This movie was awesome and if it ever comes out on streaming I am purchasing it - it is a great piece of Disney history.
