One way to indicate a MaskOfPower is having it float. Sometimes, it means that the mask itself is sentient.

Note: That doesn't include masks which float with other items due to SelectiveGravity.

* The masks representing the ancestral kings of Atlantis in ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' float and spin around the crystal that gives Atlantis its life.
** Also, at the end of the film, a new mask, representing [[spoiler: the now deceased [[Creator/LeonardNimoy King Kashekim Nedakh]]]] is actually constructed by his daughter and son-in-law upon becoming the new rulers of Atlantis, which then floats away into the sky to join the other masks representing the dead kings of Atlantis.
** And for some reason, the queens ''never'' get floating masks.
*** Maybe they get absorbed by the crystal, they seem to be the only ones that can control it while alive, and then the King's masks make more sense, they are a way for the kings to be with their wives forever.
