If the character is more stylised or cartoony it is important to consider what actions the character needs to perform- if they had cute tiny arms and a big head or round body it presents problems when the character reach or tries to scratch its head or hold something with both hands. Fortunately cartoony characters can have bodies that deform or flex in a similarly cartoony style. On the positive side again- the way the character meets the challenge of its short arms etc can be part of its character or charm.
Short stubby legs- particularly combined with long feet can be a problem when the character attempts to walk(consider how hard it is when you have flippers on your feet. Hopping however is fine.
