Just watched Pete's Dragon from Disney recently and it got me wondering. And also, is there a special name for that technique? Would probably make it easier to search for if I knew =) Thanks in advance for any help.

The earliest example of animated characters and real people sharing the screen came from Max Fleischer. 'The Tantalizing Fly' was the first and was filmed in 1919. Max Fleischer was also the creator of Popeye and held the original patent for rotoscoping.

Kristonia is correct, it's Song of the South.
It was one of Walt Disney's earliest feature films to combine live action footage with animation and was the first Disney feature film in which live actors were hired for lead roles.

Anchors Aweigh (1945): Actor/Dancer/Choreographer Gene Kelly dances Jerry the Mouse. See excerpt below:
The movie is famous for a musical number where Gene Kelly dances with Jerry the Mouse (the voice of Sara Berner). Kelly is live action while Jerry is animated. Tom the Cat appears briefly in the sequence as a butler. Originally, the producers wanted to use Mickey Mouse for this segment, but Walt Disney refused to allow his character to be used in an MGM film.

As for the technique: it's called "rotoscoping." See excerpt and link below. (This technique was used recently in the move _Happy Feet_ make the penguins dance.)
Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films.

I'd say "Fantasia"
I think Tom and Jerry did a dance routine with Gene Kelly in some movie from the 50's HA! I knew it was with Gene Kelly, 1945 "Anchors Aweigh" SEE ANSWER BELOW. Take that Roger Rabbit

Maybe Mary Poppins with Julie Andrews and Dick van dyke. I remember him dancing with the cartoon penguins. I think that came out in the 70's.

I think the first to do it at all was Mary Poppins (in the musical number with Dick van Dyke).
Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the first full length movie to feature both human and animated actors

I Belive it was Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
It's the story of a man, a woman, and a rabbit in a triangle of trouble.
A toon hating detective is a cartoon rabbit's only hope to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder.
