Perhaps cartoony isn't the exact word. Most of them simply aren't remotely as good as the classic AO/AE ones, and the ones who are worthy won't fit in the game. I don't find Mudokons that cartoony, (at least in AO/AE, in MO everything is cartoony as hell). Some creations are ridiculously colorful and "cute" they almost feel like some 9th generation Pokemons.

You don't find muds that cartoony or ridiculous because they've been around since the beginning. I was thinking of Pokemon when this whole conversation started as well mainly because of the constant "gen 1 is the best gen" debates. Yes, the originals had a much different feel. They were the first taste of Oddworld we've ever had. But, much like every world, there is a large variety of everything imaginable. Some creatures are going to look more ridiculous than others. Compare
this to
this, or even
this to
this,
colourful and cute, if you need examples on our planet.
Also, I don't know about you but sloggies and fleeches are fucking adorable.
The way the characters are modeled and textured can have a large impact on how cartoony/ridiculous they appear as well. Assuming OWI and JAW are going to be working away from the incredibly cartoony look MO had to it, we don't have to worry much about that in future games, much less Abe HD.
Also calling creatures from MO and SW not even remotely good compared to the originals is a bit rude. The biggest difference between AO and AE creatures and MO and SW creatures is that the latter have eyes. Most of them do. If they all were like AO and AE creatures, there would be no variety at all in the creatures and Oddworld's wildlife would be pretty damn boring, don't you think?
