The Way It Is, part 2

I had almost forgotten that Walter Cronkite wasn't just connected to Disney World through his narration of Spaceship Earth at EPCOT Center. He also worked with Robin Williams on the film "Back to Neverland" that introduced the The Magic of Disney Animation attraction at what was then Disney-MGM Studios, in which Williams and Cronkite gave a walking tour of the animation studios. Cronkite played the straight man, explaining how the animation worked, while Robin Williams was, well, animated.



Uncle Walter - who, not coincidentally for why the Walt Disney Company used his voice and image and reputation for dignity and seriousness, strongly resembled Walt - also provided the booming voice that echoed around the park throughout the holiday IllumiNations fireworks and light show that ran during the holiday season for many years, a piece of which can still be heard each year at the end of the holiday version of IllumiNations: Reflections on Earth.
