My question is related to the following technique:

How do they mix real characters with animated characters?

Except that instead of having a real Dick Van Dyke during all the scene, an animated Dick Van Dyke is superimposed and replaces the real one. Same with the wooden gate: a real one with lots of details and color shades is replaced by an extremely simplified gate with minimum shades and traces, while keeping the resemblance to the real thing.

I need to hire a professional animator to do something like that, but I do not even know the name of the technique. It is often used in TV commercials.

This is called rotoscoping. It's a technique where film is 'traced' for animation.

    @TravisBanger google 'rotoscoping software.' But note that it's not just a simple software filter. It typically involves a lot of hand work.
