"Gertie the Dinosaur" from Winsor McCay around 1914 or so. Winsor stood in front of the screen and interacted with Gertie.

Shortly after, going into the 1920s, Walt Disney worked on a live action/animation feature titled "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." I think that was the title. Live actor was a little girl and she interacted with animated world.

I'm going to check my facts.

edit--changed date from 1915 to 1914.
