The internet is a buzz with a rumor that the animatronic Buzzy, part of the now closed, Cranium Command attraction has supposedly been stolen. They seem to think it was taken sometime in November.
WDWNT posted this news earlier with this fun missing person’s bulletin and a #FindBuzzy
Missing: Buzzy the Audio Animatronic. Last seen wearing a bomber jacket, green cap, and glasses. If you see him, please report to #FindBuzzy.
For those that don’t remember the Cranium Command attraction, it was a show that was part of the Wonders of Life pavilion at Epcot. It was like Inside Out before Inside Out. Buzzy led the Cranium Command from the inside of a young boy’s head as he went about his day. It’s been closed since 2007 and just left there.
I have to agree with WDWNT on this as well:
It’s hard to believe, but Buzzy was stolen from the attraction and removed from Epcot without anyone noticing. And he’s still missing.
How? I mean the have had the pavilion open off and on for events like The Flower and Garden Festival. People keep wondering how someone got him down because he was up on a platform several feet high and animatronics are heavy? People on WDWmagic were commenting that they probably wrapped him in blankets and took him out in a stroller. (WDWMagic is a great forum, if you haven’t joined you should.)
People are talking about it on Social Media now:
This is Buzzy. He used to be a part of Cranium Command at EPCOT before the attraction closed. He was to be saved as a part of Disney parks history.
He has been stolen. If you recognize him or know of his whereabouts or see listings on merchant sites contact OCPD! pic.twitter.com/0VLKarhbtH

Some are having a bit of fun:
It’s 2018 and someone broke into the Wonders of Life pavilion and kidnapped Buzzy from Cranium Command. I keep picturing the butler from Horizons, Dreamfinder, the eggplant from Kitchen Kabaret and other defunct animatronics coming to life and going on an adventure to rescue him.

But the Twitter account HolidayDreamfinder is the one that dropped the news and added this bit of information:
Gonna drop the bomb. Disney is currently looking to gut Wonders of Life for upcoming construction. This is finally the end of the road, I have no idea when construction on anything will start or the scale of what will happen. Take that as you will, mark it as a rumor if needed.

When he was removed, the hydraulic lines were cut while pressurized. A large amount of hydraulic oil spewed everywhere. The police showed me photos of this. It didn’t look like it was carefully removed.

Supposedly, this person was arrested but they didn’t find Buzzy, and there really isn’t any confirmation that he took him or that he was arrested other than Twitter talking about it.
Okay, I’ve got an update on BackDoor and a major new story to break. Buzzy was stolen from Wonders. OCPD was convinced he took him, so they got a search warrant and didn’t find him. Twitter page is down for now, please contact OCPD if you know anything about Buzzy’s whereabouts.

Confirmed Last Night: @BackDoorDisney got arrested! This is no joke.

Right now it’s all speculation. For all we know Buzzy could have been moved, but if it is true that there were search warrants issued, it would indicate they have reason to believe he was taken.
Either way, it doesn’t look like they are going to be keeping that attraction anyways. There have been rumors for awhile that it was going to be demolished.
For now people are spreading the news and hoping we can #FindBuzzy so he can be archived.
