IFFBoston 2025: Stolen Kingdom

Join us for STOLEN KINGDOM, playing as part of IFFBoston 2025! Joshua Koopman will be in attendance for a post-film Q&A.

Walt Disney’s legacy has cast a spell on generations of children across the world. The Disney theme parks are a living manifestation of childhood memories that have attracted a new type of rabid fan: the Disney Adult. But for some fans, it’s not enough to simply visit the parks or buy a souvenir as a memento. They need something more.

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?
