Poorly, cheaply, minimally animated. Less than one frame per second. More like 3-5 seconds per frame. Most of the movement is just moving the camera. The art is very flat, like shadow puppets. Maybe educational, but not entertaining. Good luck getting a kid to sit through them. The 'education' is questionable. For instance it says Christopher Columbus was a mapmaker. Crude animation even by 1960 standards. In the public domain, because they are not worth owning. It is doubtful you will remember seeing them when you were a child because they are un-memorable. Good luck getting a kid to sit through them.
