Continuity mistake: When Mystique first enters the room where she plans to murder Senator Kelly, there are two bookshelves on the left, with the one closest to the camera being shorter than the one next to it.

Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
