Mickey Mousing is actually NOT cutting a scene to pre-existing music, as in many (movie) examples on this page, but the music written to match the action in the scene, as e. g. in Tom and Jerry cartoons. It works just one way, not both ways.
Hide / Show RepliesThe article says scoring. Not sure where the idea might have come from that it is action-to-music rather than music-to-action.
Goal: Clear, Concise and WittyA note to those who are thinking about making a TRS thread for this trope: This is the pre-existing, industry term for this trope. Yes, it's not very clear. We agree. But we'd probably need a really good reason to rename this one.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.I think the video game section needs to be overhauled: I don't really play much, so I can't be sure, but from the descriptions given most of these examples are not Mickey Mousing.
