The music synced up with the magic sparkles that come out of the godmother’s wand as well as the song lyrics. Mickey Mousing and synchronicity help structure the viewing experience, to indicate how events can impact the viewer. The technique enables the music to be a ‘participant’ in the action that is shown on
