This is what the industry calls a Foley scene. There is plenty of cartoon action but the images did not have any sound effects or music or dialog. The absence of sound is then filled with sound effects, music, and background sounds. The client asked to have music, and SFX added to the animated scene for their project.

Voiceovers: This is a production technique where a voice—that is not part of the narrative is used in either radio, television production, filmmaking, theater, and/or presentations. The voice-over is read from a script and may be spoken by someone who appears elsewhere in the production or by a specialist voice actor. Synchronous dialogue, where the voice-over is narrating the action that is taking place at the same time, remains the most common technique in voice-overs. Asynchronous, however, is also used in cinema. It is usually pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and is commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information. Voice-overs are used in video games and on-hold messages and for announcements and information at events and tourist destinations. It may also be read live for events such as an award presentation. Voice-over is added in addition to any existing dialogue and is not to be confused with voice acting or the process of replacing dialogue with a translated version, the latter of which is called dubbing or revoicing.
Music Tracks: A soundtrack is recorded music accompanying and synchronized to the images of a motion picture, drama, book, television program, radio program, or video game; a commercially released soundtrack album of music as featured in the soundtrack of a film, video, or television presentation; or the physical area of a film that contains the synchronized recorded sound.
Editing: Sound editing is collecting the sounds that are needed for any video production. The editor is creative, selecting and compiling any sounds and sound effects required to prepare them for audio mixing and mastering. Their job is to deliver high-quality audio based on sound video editing.
Sound Mixing: this process refers to the post-production once audio and soundtracks have been collected and put alongside the moving images. Sound mixers have one sole purpose in mind: to meld and blend all those audio tracks seamlessly with the dialogue lines.
Sound Design: Sound design is the art of creating audio for film, television, advertising, music, and other productions. This broad field involves:
• Creative recording • Mixing • Sampling • Sound editing
• Tweaking effects • Film scoring
Productions typically use these five sound design elements:
Ambiance; is the background noise that sets a scene. It should be appropriate and informative without overwhelming the recording’s focus.
Foley; The sounds of actions that make scenes seem more real.
Example: footstep sounds or material moving as someone walks.
Audio effects; are sounds created because they don’t exist in the real world.
Example: an alien invasion.
Voice-over; The voice of a narrator who is either a character or an unseen narrator driving a story forward.
Music; includes songs and instrumental pieces that influence mood and help tell the story.
