Stolen Kingdom, Joshua Bailey’s documentary on a theft scandal at Walt Disney World, will kick off the 2025 Florida Film Festival in Orlando on Friday, April 11.
The film 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. It 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?
