I checked some things, and I got it now. I read it from Finnish book about 
animation by Juho Gartz "Animaatioelokuvat"(1978 published by Finnish Film 
Foundation). Looks like mr Gartz have made an error. Gartz writes on his 
paragraph about Disney mentioning "mickeymousing" (I didn't remember this 
english term also was given here) and he explains it to be perfect 
synchroning. Hit by hit all sounds perfectly synchronized with the 
movements. He even translated it as "mikkihiirisynkka" "mickey mouse synch". 
It looks that more precisely mickeymousing means something like making MUSIC 
fit a scene in a pointedly rhythmic manner, music blatantly matches the 
action. It's not quite the same as speaking and ALL other sounds in synch 
with animation.

slight mistranslation,
and my miscomprehension
plus bad recollection... :-/
