Buzzy Background:

• Originally opened back in 1989 in the Wonders of Life pavilion at EPCOT, Cranium Command took guests inside the head of an adolescent boy where an animatronic figure of the pilot, Buzzy, guided him through his day. Along with the help of projections and screens, guests watch the whole day take place with Buzzy as our guide and a star-studded cast of comedians of the day serving as the various parts of the body.
• The attraction was widely regarded, though proved itself dated fairly soon after its debut - as did most of the Wonders of Life pavilion, to be honest. The whole pavilion, including Cranium Command, closed permanently in January 2007. Since then, the building had stayed mostly stagnant except for a few occasions when the pavilion would become the Festival Center during EPCOT's high-profile festivals.
• As such, it had become an easy target for urban exploration, as the documentary will surely cover, being a spot that is right there in the middle of a bustling theme park yet completely abandoned.
• Through posted videos on the internet and other witness account, it was first revealed that in the summer of 2018, the clothes and rubber hands of the figure had gone missing. By December of that same year, reports were spreading that the entire animatronic figure had been stolen.
• Making the story even more appealing, Disney has never confirmed many of the details, and to this day - Buzzy has never been (or officially acknowledged to have been) recovered.
• So the mystery remains, did someone pull off a full heist of the animatronic figure, or are the full details being quietly muddled?
