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. Go to Full Review Tyler Thier In Review Online 22h
A compelling study of surprising weight [that] soon dissipates into brand placement. Go to Full Review Glenn Dunks reDocumented 1d
The mystery of Buzzy and the quasi red string theories that it provokes in people is perhaps a far less interesting than the general vibe of it all, which is ever so off-kilter and strange. I wish Bailey had perhaps honed in more on that. Go to Full Review Julia Swift My Champlain Valley 1d

Fascinating, very unsettling and fun all at the same time. Go to Full Review Janet Reinschmidt MovieJawn 2d
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. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 2d
3/4
...a stirring documentary that shines a light on a decidedly under-the-radar subculture. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mikki B @RT69772057 2d 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.
