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.

I've seen plenty of Disney documentaries, but this one has got to be the craziest!

...the thrill of the transgression is best enjoyed voyeuristically, in this form, from people who’ve already paid their price.

Whether you think these literal park-hoppers are cavalier heroes or dum-dums with a death wish, you won't regret getting on this ride. It's pretty unforgettable.

It’s a fascinating film that won’t inspire copycats as it is very clear that crime will catch up to you, but may make us think twice about the boarded up warehouse down the street.

This doc is a fast-paced RIOT! It's fun, transgressive, and FUNNY! Fully enjoyable even if you're not a die-hard Disnerd. The characters get wilder and wilder as the story progresses. The filmmakers do a great job of setting the context of how we got to where we are (youtuber secret disney exposer craziness) by going back to origins of disney explorers. The story takes a few fun and unexpected turns along the way, a few celeb cameos, a few wild on-screen admissions with subjects saying mind-blowing/mind-numbing things on camera. You can tell the creators put a lot of years and a lot of love into this project and it translates beautifully into a fantastic doc!

What is the Mona Lisa worth? It's just canvas and paint. This movie is a laugh riot of a punk rock doc with a big heart. See it in a theater, the audience reactions are worth it. See it at home. Tell your friends, it's that type of secret sauce worth sharing.

Really interesting and honestly kind of unsettling watch. It’s one of those documentaries that makes you think differently about places you assumed were untouchable or purely magic the storytelling keeps you engaged but it also leaves you with a bit of a strange feeling about what actually goes on behind the scenes.

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.
