Stolen Kingdom is a documentary that explores 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 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?
Directed by Joshua Bailey, Stolen Kingdom features interviews with Dan Bell, Matt Sonswa, Kenny Johnson, Dan Becker, Patrick Spikes, Seth Kubersky, Leonard Kinsey and World Famous Dave Ensign.
Stolen Kingdom is scheduled to premiere during the Slamdance Film Festival, which begins on February 20, 2025.
