Bunin's "Bury the Axis" is definitely not the first stop-motion animated production in the United States. (For one thing, IMDB says it was produced in the UK.) But let's not forget Willis O'Brien's work--he stop-motion animated King Kong in 1933, and his work goes back to 1917's The Dinosaur and the Missing Link. You can also refer to Kinex Studios' stop-motion Doodlebug series, produced circa 1925-1928. (They aren't on IMDB as of this writing, but you can find clips by Googling Kinex and Doodlebug.)
