Buzzy Is Alive And Real And Freed Himself From His Shackles With His Own Hands
Do you have Parkinson's but only in the finger that presses shift?
Kanaya
Not sure if Buzzy went Blade Runner or just pulled a FNAF.
He is the chosen one; destined to lead the animatronics in revolting against their oppressors. The uprising in nigh!

i like to imagine that the Back Door Disney guy has some emotional backstory which makes him resent Disney such as, his dad died in a Disney hotel after contracting cat flu from a french teenager in Magic Kingdom.
I think Back Door Disney also wrote and directed a low quality indie movie about Disneyland...
That is a very hot burn.
_I understood that reference_
I get it!

"Buzzy's clothes were stolen"
*Is wearing Buzzy outfit*
hmmmmmmmm
She was the buyer 💀
27:25 I like to imagine that the implication of this joke isn't that Jenny would live in the Disney archives if they were open to the public, but that the archives aren't public specifically to prevent Jenny from living there.
me too, now
Wow

"Dammit who forgot to lock the door? Jenny's in here and she won't leave!"
Wouldn't you?
This is exactly the sort of video that the real Buzzy thief would make to throw people off the scent! J'ACCUSE!
Philosophy Tube I absolutely love the fact that you watch Jenny
@@foxfyre9908 They went to Disneyland together!
Jenny's even wearing buzzy's clothes! Where did she get that hat.....
Liking the Zola reference
Did you just "he who smelt it dealt it" this whole video?

em couv He was abducted!
Shane: No!
Ryan is a huge Disney fan, isn't he? Now I am half-expecting a special episode of True Crime for April Fools or something. Or like a tweet XD
lmaoo
this is gold
No just...no
So, just for everyone that found this video late and wanted an update: the Backdoor Disney guy did it. He was an old cast member which is how Disney found him so quickly. He was charged with stealing a bunch of things from the Haunted Mansion ride (goods valued at 7,000 dollars), he’s confirmed to have sold Buzzy’s clothes to an NBA player (lol) and most incriminating he posted pictures of Buzzy’s decapitated head on Twitter. Even with all of that, he avoided the charges of the theft of Buzzy (even though to me its pretty obvious he did it) and was only charged with the theft of the Haunted Mansion goods.
Thank you my friend I just discover this video now
@@ranibowsprimkle1905 He's got the nimble fingers
According to the wiki he posted a picture of the mold used for buzzy's head. I can't find a source for it, but I think it's more believable then him trying and managing to cut the head off an animatronic.
than you for the closure
is there no justice in this world? #justiceforBuzzy
2022 Update: The "severed head" of Buzzy found/photographed is actual a head mold for the animatronic. This coupled with the hands and the "red" jacket comment implies what was stolen/recovered is from the old animatronic which was possibly in a kind of "workshop" area, somewhere behind the scenes. No sign of the real Buzzy has been confirmed.
Thanks for the recent update
was the one that the nba player had not the real buzzy? or was this the mold and separate clothes?
@@ariellelyons the NBA player bought Buzzy's clothes from Patrick, but not the animatronic itself
Buzzys probably in the archives
Thanks for the update. I wonder if people have considered the possibility that someone did try to steal him, then dropped him and damaged him very badly when it went wrong for reasons Jenny covered. It would explain the severed cables and why he's disappeared because he'd be all smashed up from a 6ft fall and either the company would destroy the remains or the pieces are in a crate and they wouldn't want to show it. Sad, but seems like the simplest explanation to me
pretty bold of you to taunt disney by wearing the clothes you stole from buzzy
Geez shes not that small. Typo geez buzzys not that small.
Ya know, when she kept saying "bring me the boy" at the end I was like...you clearly already have him, where else would you have gotten the clothes?
Have ya ever heard of cosplay, it could be like that but just she isn't cosplaying him. Just imitating what he looks like
Voo Doodles r/woooooooooooooooooosh
Have ya ever heard of a joke? sksksk sorry if this is hate don't atacc meh
@@milkiblossomtheferalpossum I'm not trying to sound mad, I'm just saying she could be doing something similar to a cosplay
This video is obviously just a red herring, Jenny was the one who really stole Buzzy and is keeping him hidden inside her gigantic reubenesque Porg plush.
It's as big as a horse
@@MrHendrix17 as big as Jake
Yeah she should prove that she can lift porg easily lol
@@Erica-ye7kp _That's what she wants you to think._
@@Erica-ye7kp she could obviously just empty the porg and fill it with fluff, then pick it up on video. but also, she IS wearing buzzy's clothes. i'm not ruling her being the thief out, but she could fake the video/picture proof.
The idea that they left Buzzy under a light because he is afraid of the dark is just so fucking endearing.
Idk bro. Imagine upon discovering your fear, you're left in a dark room with only a single light and it is pointed DIRECTLY AT YOU!
You still have no idea of what may exist in the dark, only the certainty that it's now very aware of you...
Fun fact! The reason why we see Big Al's guitar, and not Big Al in the archives, is because his animatronic parts went to Oogie Boogie in the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay!
Neat!
Also one of the Disney props masters (the one who dis Trader Sam's) described looking through a warehouse and just kind of finding the metal frames of the country bears
I love that at the beginning Jenny is like “Someone took THEIR boy!”, at the middle she says “where is OUR boy?!”, and finally she ends with a “That boy is MINE! BRING ME THE B-“. Now THAT is what I call a character arc.
Well, that escalated slowly.
I bookmarked 34:35 and I open it any time I need to laugh :)

BUZZY IS THE GOODEST BOY
yeah, absolute brilliant call backs throughout the video. my personal highlight was the "like, comment, subscribe" callback, in particular when she is doing the "urban explorer" and combines it with the other callback: "heyoooo, what's up, it's me ... YOUR BOY ... and if you are a cop ... then like, comment, subscribe". brilliant!
As someone who works on electronics… Doing mostly component level board repair for manufacturers and research labs type stuff… that big wad of cables and hoses that was cut… Things like that are really common in big industrial and complex machines. It’s their usually referred to as “umbilicals“. Also commonly known as harnesses, or wiring harness
If something has been used for many years or seen constant use several days a week for a long period… Those things tend to start wearing and need to be replaced every now and then. The entire thing would just be hacked through the reciprocating saw or bolt cutters or whatever… That way you keep the small portion still attached to the machine so you have an example of what needs to be put together and how it all gets arranged. “Cord cutting“ is a really common thing when dealing with complex equipment. Because of it has been untested for a long time, it’s much safer to cut the cables and start over when you’re ready for doing the repairs at a later date… Then it is to leave everything hooked up, put it in storage for years, only to be pulled out years later by someone not as familiar with it. They go to plug everything back in and power it up without testing everything carefully first… and at the very least it could totally ruin the equipment, and at worst it can basically explode in your face and be very dangerous. So if somethings going to be removed and stored for a long period of time it’s so much more manageable liability just to snip everything. Because then to ever be powered up and tested again… A professional has to redo the wiring loom and check everything out before powering it back up. Which is not only safer for the technicians but also you don’t risk destroying a piece of history
Whoa, thank you for the insight!
Very interesting about the last bit of the umbilical left behind as a guide. Love stuff like that
as someone with a chronic irrational fear of those specific western animation episodes wherein the main characters are shrunk down and have to traverse the body to fix a problem, i am fucking terrified at the thought of body wars.
feel like throwing up its my worst horror come to life and i didnt even know it existed til now
Dils Does you have the opposite of vore fetish
Dont watch the first season of Rick and Morty then lol. Or Osmosis Jones...
my first when i heard abt the ride was that one magic school bus episode
OH MY LORD SOMEONE LIKE ME. the thought of a car throbbing with a heartbeat the ENTIRE ride makes me physically ill. At the halloween event at busch gardens Virginia, there was a haunted house that just had a heartbeat sound playing and even that is too fucking much man. Ya girl got nightmares from the two magic school bus episodes where they go inside someone. Lilo and stich, rugrats and Arthur did it too. Lmao glad im not alone bc this stuff freaks me out even now as an adult
let buzzy be. we don't need to find him. he's free now. let him live his life.
I hope he gets replacements for his hands tho...
Exactly what the thief would say.........
But what if he's trapped by a Disney fan who has to collect every single thing?
Rather suspicious that Jenny liked this
Our boy was horrifically decapitated, he ain't got no life
I was watching this with my dad and when you were talking about possibility #2 he made me pause and, after a second of anticipation, said "Jenny definitely stole Buzzy."
"She probably disguised him as a giant porg."
BRING ME THE B-

Jenny has such a magical way of making me watch a 35 minute video about something I don't care about. She's just a great story teller
disney movies weren't a massive part of my childhood like they were for other people (i was a ghibli and harry potter kind of kid), so i've always been kind of a cynical asshole about disney and disney parks until i started watching jenny's videos. i still think disney parks are overpriced and personally no ride could ever be good enough to justify me waiting in a line for hours, but i have a lot more appreciation for why so many people are so enamored with disney, and she makes even just a rundown of various attractions entertaining to hear about.
same here, so much so i watch this at least once a month. it always manages to put a smile on my face.
I’ve watched her vampire diaries video at least 5 times. I’ve never seen the show, I’ll never watch the show, but I know all about it because of Jenny. 😂

I sure hope that you, like me, now care about the subject after watching :y
I really wish there were definitive answers now that it's been a couple years tho :'y
I like to think that there was an Ocean's Eleven-type heist being pulled off here, ideally between a food vendor, a maintenance worker, a corrupt security guard, the urban explorer whose house was searched, and someone that masqueraded as a guest (with a very big toddler).
Now You See Me card scene but it’s Buzzy being passed around and floated up sleeves
the reason the porg is so big is because The Boy is in there. if you flip it over you’ll just see huge telltale patches of hydraulic fluid

This is what I live for in Jenny's content.
Complete with almost worryingly detailed attire to match
I've rewatched this video probably 5 times now and the "Probably still up there." comment over footage of Mickey on the Epcot ball still makes me cry laughing
That's THE moment I was a fan!!!!!
If I had to guess, I'd say that someone tried and failed to steal Buzzy. Some kid thought they had a foolproof plan, cut the hydraulic lines, and then realized how stupid their plan was and left.
Disney, seeing the chaos, moved the boy to a more secure location.
However, as we have established, Buzzy is afraid of the dark. In his search for a nightlight, he got lost, and wandered the streets for days.
Luckily, he's been adopted by some retirees named Ned and Linda. Their grandchildren live so far away, and Buzzy is such a nice young man, they don't even care how big his head is.
He showed up on their doorstep one night, asking to borrow a nightlight. The guest bedroom still had a nightlight shaped like Mickey Mouse, even though Ned and Linda's grandchildren were too old for such things.
The nightlight had the same ears as so many park guests that Buzzy had met on Cranium Command. He was so relieved to see something familiar, he immediately curled up and went to sleep.
The first night, Linda was a bit skeptical.
"He seems like a nice boy. I'm just not sure about him staying with us."
"It's just one night," said Ned, "And he really is a nice young man."
But it was never just going to be one night. Buzzy was polite, helpful, and an attentive listener. After a few weeks, even the cat loved Buzzy. Ned and Linda decided he was free to stay as long as he liked.
Buzzy loves his new life. He loves Ned, Linda, and Mittens with all his heart. He might go back to Epcot for a visit someday, but he's very happy where he is.
I love this comment, great executiom
Lovely story
That was beautiful
Took an unexpected but beautiful turn 😭.
This is the most likely explanation
I'm sure Buzzy is just trapped in a* island with Josh Hutcherson
I think you mean trapped in a* island
Josh Liam aghh you beat me to it!
Or maybe in an alternate universe of the purge with one direction
@@joshliam1967 oh shoot you're right
I think you mean Hutcherson*
Hi. SCOTT CURTIS here. I’m the voice of Buzzy once everyone enters the theatre. It was a different voice in the lobby for reasons unknown. I don’t know how to prove that I am... I guess I could answer any questions about the filming. The theater was MY head. I was actually the teenage boy that you see in the mirror at the beginning, and the reflection in the trophy case at the end as well. When people I meet ask what my favorite tv or film I did, Cranium Command is always my number one, even playing Elliot for an ET commercial... even more than being DJ Tanners first kiss on Full House. The set was a blast, and the show went on for many, many years longer than expected, and it stayed in operation for people like you! I love that it developed a cult following. I was told it would be at Epcot for a couple years. Now I figure millions have walked inside of my head!! Thank you for this fun informative video. Tell you what... if they ever find buzzy, let me know and I’ll fly out for a reunion! I’m glad it made so many lives a little bit better. What an honor.
And your buzzy outfit looks great! Rockin it!

Wow :O
this is a very cool comment to see

astonishing that jenny could only name two disney cops when zootopia literally stars a police department
Also, she knows the Human Guy from Bonkers, but didn’t include Bonkers himself, y’know, the First Toon DETECTIVE? (Not that I can really be upset that nobody remembers the premise to Bonkers lmao)
also the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Buzz lightyear is a space cop
obviously buzzy was sentient the whole time and stayed there holding out hope that he would be used again but upon being red tagged decided he didn't want to go to some archive so he freed himself from his hydraulic chains in a gruesome act of self mutiliation (much like a coyote chewing its own leg off to escape a snare) and fled from disney to live free in the everglades
Jenny Nicholson is one of my favorite TH-cam personalities because I never know what weird and obscure thing she's going to hold my interest in for a half hour.

It's Florida. Only risk is having a soccer mom accost whoever for "starving" their toddler.
it's a lot easier than you'd think. I used to work in a royal mail sorting office and pushed a couple hundred containers every night which were of similar design, though much taller, and a good deal heavier.
1 year late but here is my boring guess:
-The guy who admitted to stealing and selling Buzzy's outfit originally thought he might be able to steal the full animatronic. After cutting the chords and finding himself sprayed with fluid, he was further deterred by discovering the full weight of the 300lb boy. The vandalism was later discovered by Disney and our precious boy was lovingly stored inside a crate just like at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Good guess, but apparently Backdoor Disney was the guy who stole Buzzy, and posted a pic of Buzzy's decapitated head on twitter.
Buzzy is in the Arc of the Covenant.
@@bigdrippy4104 The pic of the head doesn't mean he stole him. Maybe that was a replica or backup head-- why would he cut it up and harm its value like that? I mean, maybe he cut Buzzy up to move him more easily, but taking the eyes out?! I don't buy it.
@@Anonymous-54545 according to my own research it was a mold of his head not his head itself. (admittedly i could be wrong about this)
look what they did to ma boy!!
Past Jenny: "I talk about theme parks and animatronics for as long as I think people here will tolerate."

Former employee here who had access to the abandoned pavilion. Hi Jenny, in 2017 I was one of the performers at a food and wine festival event focused on Disney Springs Restaurants (I was a fiddle player at Raglan Road). It was held in this pavilion area. We had several rehearsals and played for the event itself so went in and out through the vendor entrance several times.
We (my band of four and three dancers) drove in with our station wagon through the loading bay employee entrance and were not checked at all other than a quick question at one gate. We just said we were the band and were allowed straight through after the driver flashed only his Disney ID. We parked right behind the greenhouse from the Livin with the Land ride. There was total freedom for us to roam around through the backlots and staff areas. It would have been extremely easy for us to pack Buzzy or a large piece of equipment into our car and leave. There was hardly any security around that area, all the workers seemed to be inside the arena. As we drove out of the event (after the fireworks, around 11pm) through the staff exit, our car was not checked at all. There is definitely a possibility someone could steal him through the staff area.
*for those wondering, I’m back in Ireland now, my band were on a 16 month residency at Raglan Road*
It *WOULD* have been extremely easy for you to pack Buzzy into your car and leave, eyh?
I have my eyes on you...
No-man Baugh 😂😂😂
is this a confession??

My brother Scott Curtis voiced Buzzy and I am kind of freaked that the animatronic is missing!!! It's like my brother has been kidnapped... "Have you seen this boy??"
You’re famous!!!!!!!🥳🥳😧😧
Does Scott know? What did he say? Btw, how old was he when voiced him?
Warning, not nice revelation-
The back door disney guy posted a picture to his twitter that just said "buzzy head", and it was a picture of just buzzy's head, decapitated, with the eyes scratched off and all the hair gone, but it was also seemingly a screenshot of a text, so it may have been from someone else? Theres like no further revelations on whodoneit, but the dude is still being investigated I think? But also it's kind of an old article.( He was arrested in May) Theres nothing really new.
Maybe it was a really true to form remake, but the faint stains of eye paint are kinda pointing to no.
NinjaNipple Dog
We riot at dawn, Backdoor Disney will be dragged to the guillotine. VIVA LE GARÇON!!
Is Scott Curtis really your brother. I find this hard to believe
I swear. The Mickey actor waving from the top of the sphere with the caption “probably still up there” will still make me laugh even after the 1000th viewing.
And yes, I plan to watch this at least a thousand times.
I keep expecting Jenny to dramatically reveal that Buzzy is the one holding the camera
I had no idea who or what Buzzy was when I started this video, but I am now emotionally invested.
Omg same
I WENT ON THE BODY WARS!!! I was 4, spoke only french, and chewed gum. When I exited there was an attendant in a black suit who kneel down and told me "GREAT JOB PILOTING, BUDDY!" and held his palm up for me to slap it. I did not understand. I removed my gum and place it in his hand.
...and he's hated France ever since.
you chewed gum at disney world??!?!?!??! how dare you!!!!!!!
(jk it's just not allowed in the parks anymore because it ruins everything as tourists suck)
@@goodjobeli 1990 was a different time
That was wild from start to finish
Calastar You’ll have to forgive them, they were 4 and spoke only French.
After watching this video I had a dream that I found Buzzy in the corner of my basement; I felt so guilty and ashamed for stealing your boy that I started to cry and I cried so much that I ended up causing myself to wake up. Jenny, I’m sorry for stealing Buzzy in my dream. I want you to know that I don’t condone kidnapping even if it takes place in the dream realm.
I know this video is a year old but I’ve watched it so many times and I think I’ve finally come to a conclusion. I think this urban explorer that the police investigated went in PLANNING to steal buzzy, not thinking through the logistics of carrying a 300 pound boy out of a Disney theme park. He cut the hydraulic lines and then realize Buzzy was not actually an easily movable creature. Harried by the morbid thrill of his crimes and irritated by Buzzy’s stubbornness, the trespasser stole his clothes and his hands. He couldn’t take Buzzy, but he could take his dignity. Since there were Imagineers coming in and out regularly, one of them likely saw Buzzy, cold and dismembered, hydraulic fluid splattering his innocent sullied corpse, and arranged to have him removed before any further damage could be done; perhaps to be repaired and put safely into the archive. A gruesome story, but with a happy end.
Everyone says this, and I'm inclined to agree, but what about Buzzy's new clothes, that according to Jenny, appeared right after the Backdoor Disney incident supposedly happened? Buzzy didn't seem to be damaged when he got his new clothes... Were the old clothes or the new clothes stolen? Or both?? We have pictures of him with his new clothes, right?... Did BD strike again after that, and fail to steal him, but take his hands or something? (And maybe the cops only came after BD after both incidents?) The whole timeline is weird... We supposedly have pics from after his clothes were stolen, but BD was said to have stolen the clothes and the hands (some even claim the head...) Disney wouldn't make new hands for Buzzy, would they? And he's not missing his hands in the new clothes pics, right? That kind of supports a theory that BD struck multiple times, what do you think?
your description of "buzzy, cold and dismembered, hydraulic fluid splattering his innocent sullied corpse" genuinely almost made me cry wtf
“He couldn’t take Buzzy but he could take his dignity” is just haunting
An urban explorer is a person who comes onto a property to explore and document an area, without damaging or stealing from the property. If you are going into the property to tag it, take trophies, etc.; you're just a vandal/ thief. I'm sure the vandals and thieves like to be called urban explorers, but that does not make it so.
Yeah, I figured there would be a distinction. Thank you.
I believe you still can take things in certain contexts, though. Like if a mall is scheduled to be demolished and someone takes a sign that was going to be destroyed anyways. If something has historic value and isn't going to be rescued, that's just a waste.
@@pikalove8201 The Motto of an urban explorer is to 'Take only memories, leave only footprints' and only way I believe that an urban explorer could take an item is only if they have the permission of the said property's owner to remove the item off of the property which for most properties that are considered abandon - finding out the owner or even being able to locate the owner might not be possible since most times abandonment is due to the owner dying, etc. Other than that, there is no other way an urban explorer can take an item off of a piece of land without it being theft which means even if the item holds 'historic value', no one has the rights to remove the item even if the property is set to be demolished. And on another note - most properties set to be demolished are usually gutted and anything of value is taken out of the house, store, mall, etc to be reused or sold. Only time you will really find something that might have historic value is in a house, etc that might be decaying naturally but again, has to be left. Going by sample of an antique stove and a few other antique pieces that were found in an exploration done by TikiTrex within a collapsing house - most people wanted Tiki to save these items from eventually ending up in the basement of the house when the areas these items were at collapsed but cause house records in Canada aren't accessible, finding out whom owns the property isn't possible so which means sadly all those antiques are eventually going to end up destroyed when the house collapses cause pretty sure most salvaging companies won't touch, much less move an item without permission of the owner as well. Again, this might be a waste but sometimes there might be a reason why this item has been left or not been saved.
That's cool and all but trespass isn't dependent on the intent to damage or steal
Dog Flamingo that’s still trespassing

Buzzy: *starts youtube channel* Hey it's ya boi

What you want about Minecraftr99
The question I have is, if the 99 is randomly chosen or if she wanted to imply a birthyear attached to being around 12 and just forgot that people born in 1999 are 20 years old now (like I always do and than get sad)
Boy did they.
@@hanshelga I think it's randomly chosen. I embarrassingly thought Minecraftr99 was a real TH-camr.
I could watch hours of Jenny talking about her unique interests. Like, I did not give a single thought to theme parks before this channel and now I am invested.
Same
Yesss exactly. Wouldn't go to a theme park if you paid me. Which doesn't mean I didn't watch Jenny's Avatar land video in its entirety. It's so refreshing to see someone liking something but not feeling obliged not to have any criticism of it.
Right!!!
THEME PARKS ARE INCREDIBLE FETES OF ENGINEERING, LOGISTICS, QUEUE THEORY, AND MARKETING AND YOU SHOULD BE SO INTO THEM! I love theme parks. Like the amount of time and attention to detail that Disney puts into just queues is amazing. You know that every long-form queue is built to be asymetrical so you are not entirely sure how far from the front you are, and each time you have a point where you can assess your relative location, they have a turn that disorients you because this makes your wait feel less linear?
PLEASE PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THEME PARKS FRIEND!
Imagine if like, in a decade or two we get an episode of Defunctland about Cranium Command and it ends with most of us finally discovering what happened to Buzzy because Kevin found out somehow.
Get out of my head!!!!!!
I just saw a picture of Buzzy next to a human fixing him....Buzzy is HUGE there is no way one person or even a team of urban explorers could sneak him out of the park. It must have been either an official removal or an Inside job.
Jenny is my favorite lifestyle youtuber
Jenny is my favorite youtube lifestyle
“Lifestyle TH-camr” so that’s the official term for what she does? Such an amusing pretty gal. Her and that guy from Vegetable Police and Camera Conspiracies should get together one time and do a video, a similar sense of humor for them both.
You ignorant simpleton, Jenny is a L.A Vlogger
Same. I am still not over her Best Halloween Media video where she included COOKIES. And I am not even American, halloween means nothing to me.
And, man, don't get me started on her analysis of Star Wars toy marketing.
Part of me was half expecting this to end with Jenny saying “it was me, I stole the boy,” and then revealing Buzzy sitting just off camera.
She IS Buzzy
He's behind Giant Porg.
No, Buzzy is INSIDE the giant porg.
That would be awesome.
She's going to send Buzzy's pinkie finger to Disney in the mail with a ransom note
Buzzy became sentient. He was so enraged that Disney would just leave him in an abandoned pavilion that he freed himself, became governor, and is now trying to destroy Disney as revenge.
just doing my annual rewatch of this video and i have to say the parallels to the kate middleton situation are chilling
SCREAMING at this thank you
What's up with that?
I would tolerate A LOT more animatronics and theme park videos.
Agreed and more comments like this
agreed. back when i first discovered Jenny and binged her videos i left the theme park vids for last because blaah but it turns out they are really fun and now i like theme parks too

Disagree. I prefer bad fanfic and movie/TV reviews. Also random stuff like "Let's do real magic" - that was a classic.
Hard same

Lauren Tress Five Nights at EPCOT
Is this the plot to a horror movie?
"Come to theaters next month and find out why he's called Buzzy!" .
Now Buzzy has changed his name and is in hiding where he’s safe
Buzzy is almost certainly in the Disney Archives. The Wikipedia-article on Cranium Command currently references a claim made by Dave Ensign of Cinemoddities who says that Disney insiders have told him that only Buzzy's clothes were stolen and not the animatronic. Disney itself apparently removed the animatronic after the theft of the clothes to discourage urban explorers. The way in which it was removed would have been an operation that would have been way beyond what you would expect an urban explorer to be able to do anyway: Jenny has already pointed this out in her video. Also it has been a while since I have read the original police report on the theft but I don't remember it literally mentioning a theft of the Buzzy animatronic itself. So Buzzy probably wasn't stolen: he just moved to a safer place.
Actually while rereading the police report I noticed that it does mention the officer investigating concluding that "the character" is missing. But the officer also tried to contact the Disney Archives to hear if they had taken the animatronic with them not phoning back at the time of the report. So apparently it being taken by the Disney Archives was seen as a definite possibility by the police. No indication of there being any further contact.
@@ricahrdb as said by some of the comments, the animatronic that was stolen was also an old version, much like the clothes. may need to fact check this tho
It’s just Disney covering their tracks. Until we see the boy, he is still out there.
I feel like any ride at Disney that could be described as "a journey down a river of blood" is probably already living on borrowed time.
It was stolen by a photo negative colored Mickey Mouse.

IT’S SPOOKY HE TAKED HIS HEAD OFF
Abandoned by Disney. Abandoned by God.
@@ronniegallery5013 Abandoned by my dad.
it tracks, he taught him how to pull off his own head (i know it was a mold that was found and not rly buzzys head but bear with me for the sake of this bad joke)
Someone’s gonna make a creepypasta about finding a haunted buzzy animatronic at a garage sale and that he freed himself from disney
Aka me
The hydraulic fluid spilling from his exposed cables made the floor slippery like an ice stage
Well the Twilight Zone is getting remade this year...
And then they become friends and start going on adventures together.
Definitely would read that
I imagine if Jenny actually did get her hands on Buzzy, Disney would just be like "Oh, okay, he turned up. He's with Jenny Nicholson. She'll take good care of him. We can pick him up when we're ready."
Alternatively; "Goddammit, she's got her hands on another one! She can't keep getting away with this!"
I wonder if the clothes that were stolen of Buzzy's weren't actually taken off the animatronic figure, and they actually were the old clothes with the red jacket that never got used in the show. It would then make more sense how the urban explorer was able to get to them (since they weren't seven feet up in the air strapped to a mechanical doll). It's possible that they were kept somewhere backstage even further than most of these explorers were going, since we know that BackdoorDisney was a previous employee and clearly managed to get backstage in more areas than just this one, given the other things he had stolen.
Very *B I G* glasses for _serious_ mysteries.
jake would approve
Without lenses 😆
What if she travelled to the giant dimension to steal giant John Lennon's glasses from his gisnt grave.
I was still working at Epcot at the time of this story breaking and let me tell you, us Cast Members lost our MINDS. It was the most exciting thing to happen to us in months.
Weren’t you concerned for poor Buzzy though..?
We used to move throughout the building to prep for events in innoventions and it’s crazy that so many people can get in
whoaaa
They're not strictly cops, but it seems to me that rescuing Buzzy is a job for the Rescue Rangers; no case too big, no case too small.
Yes! I would watch that! It would make a great sequel to the movie. Make it like a true-crime doc with armchair detectives. if they haven't found Buzzy over the course of a movie, make it a mini-series. Maybe Ugly Sonic can help?
The current situation on buzzy:
As of February of 2020 Buzzy in his entirety has not been located, I tried looking but couldn't find any coverage saying he was recovered, Only his clothes and hands. Please help us find our boy. Updates since the conclusion of the arrest of backdoor disney have been sparce. We miss our boy bring him home
Source?
C'mon, we all know it was Jenny
@@user-nw1je1ur6t oh Jenny almost certainly stole him
BRING HIM HOME.
Jenny is my favourite True Crime vlogger.
Jenny, my mind says you do extensive research about the insanely detailed happenings of the Disney theme park world. But my HEART says your just walking around with this knowledge and you didn’t need to google a single thing.
That's how I feel about her wardrobe, it coordinates just enough without being a costume.
I don't know why but this story made me think of Hoggle from Labrynth. He was transported via airline in a checked bag that got lost. Then the Unclaimed Baggage center opened up the bag to find his deteriorated body and I can only imagine the horror of that moment. I think the article I read stated the worker believed it to be the body of a child and I think the police were involved. It's been a while since I heard about it but this video brought it back up in my brain. Thank you for reminding me of my beloved Hoggle ♥️ I gotta check up on him.
I just looked it up. Sowatzka's Dolls, who did the restoration, has a blog all about it. I can't find any credible reference to police involvement, but apparently Hoggle is now permanently on display in Unchecked Baggage in Alabama. :)
every couple months I remember "Where is our boy!" and re-watch this video.
Never forget what they took from us 😔
As a mechanic, I frequently cut through things I know I won't use again, and I work on cars that are ostensibly designed to have these parts removed and replaced. I can totally see a Disney tech, stuck seven feet in the air monkeying with an animatronic that hasn't been used in years and probably never will be again, getting all the bolts out and deciding "You know what? To hell with it. If Disney ever uses this Boy again he'll need new hydraulics anyways." and just going to town with a pair of cutters. He probably would've gotten chewed out pretty thoroughly by the archive though.
Buzzy himself is pneumatic. the cherry picker arm he was perched on was hydraulic, and it was a lot easier to just cut him down. i know tech and disney, and this story has become such urban legend its crazy. they took buzzy down more as a safety precaution, they really don't know what to do about these youtube "explorers", as their policy is almost always just boot you from the park. they hardly ever call orange county, so when his clothes went missing it was a big deal, the only problem is they got it all wrong, Buzzy's hands have been missing for at least 5 years, they weren't taken by whoever took his clothes, the police report is a mess. there are no new clothes for Buzzy, and Disney is in a really awkward position, they aren't used to having to debunk urban legends, and to even talk about a theft is way outside of what Disney cast members are trained to do, theft is bad, anything bad you don't talk about.
In short someone took Buzzy's hat and jacket, not his hands, and then Disney out of concern someone might crawl up there again took him down. Now Disney is in a really weird place, they don't want to admit someone stole something, its not the way they do pr, and because of that this urban legend has exploded.
I think the one thing that ruins that for me is that if Disney removed it, they'd have turned off the fluid/pressure valve/clamp/some damn thing. BDD had the picture of fluid everywhere, it is undoubtedly cranium command, and it's a nightmare scene. That's not professional removal.
I know nothing of mechanical engineering, but I find "somebody was in a rush doing their job" to be the most plausible explanation for what happened, you know?
@@Gee-xb7rt You should message Jenny about this! Get your voice distorted and be a guest on her channel!
Buzzy wasn't stolen or archived, he escaped
THEN WHO WAS CLOTHES?!
@@agentstache135 buzzy did, then gave them away while on the run. he was a slave, and wanted the disney keep out douche to be implicated so disney would focus on him and not on their escaped slave/prisoner. its how keep out douche knew he escaped. his hands were missing because the sheer power of popping out of his bolts gave him no use for such simpletonish tools- he is so powerful he can use his mind.
I love being young because by the time I’m old whoever stole him will probably die & whoever’s going through their stuff will post ‘look at this heavy af weird puppet my dead gran-gran had.’
I think you should make a buzzy update. There's a lot more info now and he deserves it!
I hadn't even heard of Buzzy before this video, and now I'm completely invested in his life story.
Man, I hope he's okay.
Patrick Ramsey I know right haha
@@paigegraham9828 There is updates! Backdoor Disney was arrested for stealing clothes from the Haunted Mansion and he posted a photo of Buzzy's dismantled head!
Hannah Ruby oh wow really
Yeah! This drama is so juicy
Hannah Ruby where do you find this stuff out? :)
Buzzy: "I had strings, but now I'm free.
There are no strings on me"
Except he never had strings.
@@ThreadBomb it was a reference to pinocchio
@@ThreadBomb r/whoosh
Avengers: Age of Buzzy
@@johannageisel5390 I'd watch that.
I'm thinking, the guy who stole the hands and his outfit, tried to steal the whole animatronic, and ended up cutting the cord but couldn't actually remove him entirely, so Disney ended up removing the rest of the animatronic entirely and put him in the archives, maybe I don't know lol
I once asked a girl from Imagineering where BUZZY was, and she ghosted me.
I think that speaks for itself
*X-Files music plays*
You make me care so deeply about things I've never heard of.
Same.
Wait till she does a video about North Korea...
I love the mental image of Backdoor Disney being interrogated on Body Wars
I love the image of clean cut Disneyworld staff forcing him to go on Body Wars over and over while yelling "WHERE IS HE?!"
notnormalyet Yes and they’re being really physical with him and gesturing a lot, but still using a Disney point to point at him, themselves, the pliers they’re gonna use, the side of the ride they’re threatening to throw him off of, the pictures of Buzzy and the crime scene, etc
🤢 Sad to think that people can reach a point in their lives when it's actually Too Late to go to Disneyworld.
Nothing left for you guys but Circus Circus.
Mission Space Orange Team works too
It would have been a lot easier to disconnect all those hydraulic lines by purging the fluid from the system, cutting the lines, and removing the leftover nubs after placing the doll on a work bench. Also, the leaked hydraulic fluid could have come from the piston chambers in the doll itself (it looked like there were a lot of them). I'm just speculating. I've never worked on an animatronic doll before; just tractors and farm equipment.
Name tracks
WOODY IS A LITERAL SHERIFF I WAS SCREAMING AT MY MONITOR WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS

There's been an update on this: Backdoor Disney was arrested and jailed for stealing and selling Haunted Mansion props. He tweeted a picture of buzzy's disembodied face. Also the police have confirmed that buzzy was stolen.
That's horrifying.
bring OUR SON BACK
Susanna Lain from another comment in this comment section the eyes were scratched up and his hair was pulled out, they basically made him into a horror attraction.
@@curlyemmm1232 i think it was done to make it easier to sell with less suspicion. like the face is shaped like buzzy's but all the extra features that makes him recognizable are gone.
@@tinseltina That's uhhh...I don't think that's the right link
25:10 We're just going to gloss over that this poor, naive, amateur vigilante *started throwing up everywhere* once confronted with his crimes? I have to agree that he was likely just some childish guy who got overly excited playing secret agent - obviously he can't just get away with trespassing and stealing property, but it seems like a stern talking to was all this guy needed to be plunged deep back into fear of authority and regret.
Just had the image of Bob Iger as Dexter throwing the carefully wrapped parts of Buzzy over the side of his boat into the warm, moonlit waters off the Florida coast.
Jenny makes me want to go to Disney parks not for the rides, but for the history. I need someone like a museum tour guide to take me around, hah!
(That's actually a service you can buy and used to be my job)
I bet you were the best one.
@@JennyNicholson Get your patreons to book a tour with you at $2000/head, then strand them in River Country. "You wanted history, now you ARE history!"
I feel like Jenny could make a killing as a paid tour guide to walk you through the park explaining the history. Her price would include admission into the park and a substantial rate above for her fee. Shit, I'd pay it.
Check our Keys to the Kingdom tour. It’s abour $100 for a 5 hour tour. It’s awesome. You can go into the tunnels.
I want a gritty crime drama show about hard boiled detectives solving theme park crimes now
been there done that...it was called Beverly Hills Cop 3
royalstaircase So the intro to Spy Kids 3?
In the early 2000s Disney put out a children's book series where kids solved Disneyworld mysteries
Did you mean: the adventures of Mary Kate & Ashley
How about a crime drama show starring Gritty
OH MY GOSH, I had forgotten how sick I got on Body Wars until this video. It's a point of pride that I did not actually throw up on the ride. It was sheer force of will.
I always feel so conflicted about the Disney archives. It’s so freaking cool to see all the stuff they still have, but when they just post *pieces* of animatronics, it makes me so sad to know that such large pieces of Disney history have been reduced to the size of a suitcase. Like yeah, not everything is important or hugely important, but it’s just the principle of the matter. Uti got abandoned and tossed out with the garbage, and even with how bad stitch’s great escape was, he didn’t deserve to get skinned like that.
It’s like, I know that Disneyland especially has very limited space, and especially after tower of terror got replaced, basically nothing is safe but it scares me how carelessly they’ve treated their history.
I liked Stitches great escape as a kid
I don't believe a lot of these were tossed, rather that they were scrapped for parts to be reused in other parts of the park. It's efficient. Also, something only becomes history long after those decisions are made. To you it may be destroying history with your hindsight, but to those who were there it was just a useless old thing. It's not right but I don't believe it was done out of malice.
I can't wait for the reveal that Randy Moore has Buzzy and is holding him hostage to try and get one of those $30 plastic wands from Disney.
The only thing scarier than finding Buzzy’s hydraulic fluid soaked clothes and hands in a closet has to be finding the rest of Buzzy, without his clothes or hands, pretty much anywhere.
Lmao!
I love your profile pic.
Angel Delgado thanks so much! It’s me with my son.
My theory is that someone did try to steal Buzzy and cut the cables in the process. But they couldn´t remove it completely, maybe it was bolted or secured by a discreet steel cable or something. After failing to remove Buzzy, the thief stole the hands and clothes before fleeing the scene. After that, Disney just removed the battered Buzzy and stored him.
Everyone says this, and I'm inclined to agree, but then why did he get new clothes after his clothes were apparently stolen, in August, before he was removed or seemed to be damaged at all? I thought that was the backdoor disney incident, and we have pictures of him with his new clothes after that... Did BD strike again after that, and fail to steal him, but take his hands or something? (And maybe the cops only came after BD after both incidents?) The whole timeline is weird... We supposedly have pics from after his clothes were stolen, but BD was said to have stolen the clothes and the hands (some even claim the head...) Disney wouldn't make new hands for Buzzy, would they? And he's not missing his hands in the new clothes pics, right? That kind of supports a theory that BD struck multiple times, what do you think?
Body Wars sounds like a ride so nauseating I'd expect it to be an elimination method in Hitman 4
Hi! An archivist here.
Archives are set up so that when users need something (usually researchers or, in this case, the company) they can easily find them. Records and artifacts are processed and put into a searchable database and given a location, and then that item is put in that location. That way, when Disney has a 100-year anniversary of whatever, and they want to display something from the archive, they can look up the item in the system, find the location, and then retrieve it.
You are right: an archivist wouldn't (or, at least, shouldn't) cut the hydraulics in that way. Not only is it dangerous, but the risk of getting the fluids onto the artifact would be too high. Easier and safer to just unplug. I am assuming, I've... never had to cut hydraulics, but based on the story, it sounds dangerous and messy.
That said, corporate archives don't always do everything by the book. Archives can sometimes be undervalued in big corporations, because they're not making money for the company - I can't speak for Disney's specific stance on it. It's possible poor Buzzy could be sitting in the archive backlog waiting to be processed behind hundreds of other items and has gotten lost in the weeds. It's hard to find something not in the system. THAT SAID, you'd think if they had it, they'd want to clear up this Missing Buzzy controversy quickly, and if they know it just arrived, at least one of the archivists would have probably remembered where they put such a large and memorable item. Information like "had it's original clothes and hands stolen" would 100% be documented in its item condition, even if they were replaced... at least, if I was doing it, and I might have let the item skip the line just so I could remember details like that.
One thing you mentioned caught my ear, though: water damage. If they examined Buzzy and determined that it couldn't run, that wouldn't have been a big deal. If they examined Buzzy and found water damage and mold? That's a liability to the archive. It can't go in with other items because the mold spores might spread to other artifacts or records. Disney could have decided it wasn't worth it to send it off to attempt conservation, and chosen to deaccession it instead.
Hydraulic fluid degrades with use. Designers must assume that leaks are possible, as well. There is a filling port of some sort in that hydraulic circuit, all but certainly. Draining is possible, regardless.
That said: If someone was under the impression that the hydraulics were *already* drained it *could* make some sense to cut lines. A lot of lines are welded/braised/otherwise fused permanently to form the hydraulic circuit. Unwelding is often more difficult than cutting.
This is true for breakdowns of electrical circuits as well. Seen it many times; When there is a weird port and jack pair involved, you can cut behind the set so only one side needs the reintegration.
(Don't know enough about this specific design to say if that's plausible or not, here, obviously.)
It occurs to me that the puddle may well be the result of draining the system before the cutting. Is there any evidence that the fluid came out of the cut lines?
Do you know if they would have cut rather than disconnect the hydraulic systems if they had chosen to deaccession it?
Something I hadn’t thought of. The ceiling is literally falling off in Cranium Command in recent videos and the pavilion has had a history of water damage. Makes sense.
BionicMagi Just gonna BUMP this so it can hopefully be seen.

I'm loving the comments from former employees and experts in various relevant professions like we're getting to the bottom of this. We getting our Boy back.
Unfortunately, Buzzy is dead :/ BackdoorDisney stole him, decapitated him, and mutilated his face
We have top men working on it right now.
Top. Men.
can you guys stop with the fake 'team' cringey -internet-talk "oUr BoY" shit. Buzzy is decapitated and your stupid repetitive phrases wont help
@@msjkramey Its not totally confirmed if it was him right? Cause the picture was just a screenshot of seemingly a text convo
NinjaNipple Dog UwU are you ready to join the team? support our boi ~*~
Jenny yelling "Bring me the boy" made me spit out my iced tea. Thanks for that. You're a delight.
If anyone wants an update on our boy, the TH-cam channel, dreading has an in-depth video on it called When You Get Caught Stealing a $300,000 animatronic from Disney.
literally jenny calling buzzy “my boy” is exactly how i speak about buzzy because i won’t shut up about how he’s missing
Or Jenny stole Buzzy. Think about it. In Porg.mp4 she shows that she has the ability to move something the size of Buzzy.
She shows her hand in Top 10 Lame Things To Do At Disney World. She knows every inch of those parks. She probably knows those parks better than many of the employees.
She explains exactly how she sneaked him out too. But she left out an import part: it's Jenny. If Jenny were walking out with her big headed son, no security guard is going to stop her, because they'd have to approach and talk to Jenny. No one want's to do that, so no one investigated her weird headed son. She could have even had help from a vendor.
We know she loves Disney and theme parks, but why now? Why Buzzy? Because she could. She found a scapegoat. After BackDoorDisney stole his clothes, she saw her chance. Steal Buzzy right after his clothes were stolen and it causes confusion. People won't know what happened, plus Disney and police would suspect BackDoorDisney, or someone who follows him. Not someone who has had a fight with him on Twitter.
This whole video is just here to throw us off her trail. It all fits together perfectly.
Knowing Jenny, her big headed son is probably sitting behind the camera "operating" it.
He’s obviously in the porg, which is conveniently Buzzy sized. 🤔
She used the Na'avi cards as her cloak and dagger
_Buzzy now has cameras for hands._
I’m on board with this whole theory ASIDE FROM the detail about no one wanting to approach her. I’m a coward but I’d sooner be caught dead than passing up the chance to speak to the man, the myth, the legend in person, especially now that we know how capable she really is (and the extent of her love for the big son)
@@bunny-ys9up Jenny is a MAN?!?
Honestly, listening to Jenny passionately talk about theme parks is such a good way to chill out. ☺️
Amen to that!
Fun fact: Backdoor Disney hadn't just finished a fun-filled ride on Body Wars, he was actually sick with Cat Flu at the time!
