I'm not sure what gumby and pokey etc. are (probably too old myself rather than too young) but if you have WindowsXP or later could you use MovieMaker and make a slideshow out of your jpgs?

Like miskairal said really any freeware movie editor or slideshow software that outputs video files would work. If you want something that is specifically designed for the purpose you might try . 1. http://plasticanimationpaper.dk/ 2. http://www.pencil-animation.org/ 3. http://www.creatoon.com 4. http://www.giantscreamingrobotmonkey.../features.html

There is also 5. http://www.synfig.com/ if you are hand drawing the images from scratch, they claim it will help cut out a lot of the work.

You could also use any free time-lapse photo to video maker. Just google "freeware jpeg to avi" There are lots of those.
