Cartoon is not a word I like to associate with Oddworld in the slightest. I just need to look at the way Mudokons bounce about when they fall and hear the annoying 'boing' when Munch hops along, and I start mourning the loss of the Oddworld I fell for. Well, not exactly, but I hate all the cartoon noises and actions in the Oddworld games, unless their specifically part of the game's score and work well.
There was at some point going to be an Online Animated Oddworld Series, and I'd still love to see more of the Oddworld Universe in short animated episodes, as long as they were true to Oddworld's style - dark humour, lightly-submerged messages, truely odd yet totally believable characters, locations and stories. Of course there's the risk that shorter production time for each episode would compromise on quality, but it doesn't, then I'd love the idea.
