The History of Sound in Animation

I found this online article about sound in animation. It explains that in the 1928, Walt Disney produced Steamboat Willie which introduced sound being synchronised to animation. This is where the term "Mickey mousing" originated which is a term for a technique used in film where the actions on the screen are matching with the music in the background.

The article explains that during the 1920s to 1930s era, recording equipment was unable to be taken outside of the studio, thus the crew had to create sound effects from inside the studio.
In one instance, the sound effects would be simulated by a musician during a music recording session.
