The Bible Stories for Kids series is a nice series of 23 episodes focusing on the retelling of major Old Testament Bible stories for preschoolers through 3rd grade. The stories begin and end with children and a pastor talking. Each episode is about 25 minutes. The theology is non-denominational and age-appropriate.
Produced circa 2016 for an international audience, all episodes are available for free on YouTube and for 99 cents an episode on Amazon Prime (as of 2020).

Who made it? Like many other kids video series these days, this one is produced outside the U.S., dubbed in many languages, and distributed internationally across a wide variety of "channels," including YouTube, HULU, and Amazon Prime. The English speakers have a very slight accent (Indian or perhaps Indonesian where a lot of animation is done these days). The characters have REFRESHING an "international" appearance. I found the depictions and retelling entertaining enough and age-appropriate. Janson Media, the distributor, is based in NY and Australia.
Here's their 26 minute Story of Samuel episode.
