Mickey Mousing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mickey Mousing is a film technique used to sync the actions on screen with the accompaning music. The term comes from the early and mid-production Walt Disney films, where the music almost completely works to mimic the animated motions of the characters.
Examples of Mickey Mousing outside of Walt Disney films include the original 1933 King Kong, in which the music is crescendoed in such a way as to suit Kong's motions in climbing the Empire State Building. It is also used frequently in horror films, typically during a killing scene involving the villain.
