Ah, The KINEX studios! There were lots of stop-motion subjects produced by these folks that were released for home-movie use as KODASCOPE shorts.

Tome Stathes and Steve Stanchfield can probably tell us much more.

(Did Hugh & Rudy have something to do with these guys at one point?)

Thanks for sharing the screen grabs!

To my knowledge, these were produced exclusively for the Kodak Cinegraph (aka Cine Kodagraph abroad) 16mm market. Kodak cut them up into different episodes...if you've collected any, you might notice that some string together perfectly. For some reason 1929 comes to mind, though I'll have to check if any prints I have are on earlier film stock.
Steve has more info on series and filmography.
