It’s no secret that there are plenty of people who take Disney and Disneyanna collecting seriously. Collectors will spend thousands at official auctions to get their hands on a piece of “Disney Magic.” Filmmaker Joshua Bailey’s new film Stolen Kingdom follows the world of those who risk life, limb, and liberty to get behind the scenes for urban exploring of the Disney parks and those who steal hidden treasures.
Here’s the official synopsis:
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 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?
The documentary is set to go on a “roadshow” starting May 21st which will feature in person Q&As with filmmaker Joshua Bailey.
