Animated Documentaries have been around since animation has been around. One of the king pins of early animation of course were Disney, and since they always have their fingers in ALL the pies, of course they had to make documentaries too! This particular one that I have found was made in 1957 for Disneyland, to teach children about the power of the Atom.
This uses a good mix of live action film, and animation to get its point across. It shows that animation is a good way of showing something that you otherwise wouldn't be able to. Of course this isn't the best example to use, but to understand animation, its best to know where it came from, and Disney have been the masters since the beginning.
I found a new example of an animated documentary that is a lot more suitable for my needs. This is called "Faith" by Youtube user Tiddojr. I think it shows what you can use new software to create, and how you can use animation to accompany a spoken story. I really like the book theme that's been used, and how effective its been used for the purpose of a documentary.
