About Stolen Kingdom:
- Announced two years ago, Stolen Kingdom tells the story of mischief, scandal, and theft at Walt Disney World, culminating in the mysterious disappearance of an animatronic valued at nearly $500,000.
- This animatronic, named Buzzy, famously went missing from the now-closed Cranium Command attraction in EPCOT.
- Shortly after, former cast member Patrick Spikes was arrested for stealing Disney property worth thousands, including costumes from the Haunted Mansion.
- It was later disclosed that NBA player Robin Lopez had obtained Buzzy's clothing from Spikes, but Buzzy himself is still unaccounted for.
