While many remember Cronkite as the narrator of Epcot's Spaceship Earth attraction from 1986 to 1994, he was also featured in a 9-minute film entitled Back To Neverland at what was the Disney-MGM Studios at the time (now Disney's Hollywood Studios).

The 1989 film also starred Robin Williams and served as the introduction to the The Magic of Disney Animation attraction, which took guests on a walking tour of Disney's animation facility inside the theme park.

Back to Neverland was written and directed by Jerry Rees, whose other Disney theme park credits include directing "Sounds Dangerous" with Drew Carey, Cranium Command formerly at Epcot, the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster pre- and post-show videos with Aerosmith, the video portions of the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter formerly at the Magic Kingdom, the recently updated version of Epcot's "Oh Canada" film, and many more.

In thinking back to working with Walter Cronkite while filming Back to Neverland, Rees recalled, "Walter was exactly the charming intelligent guy you would imagine him to be. What he presented on the air and what he was in person was one and the same."
