Atlantis: Milo's Return - Could it run on TV?

I enjoyed this enormously. While the "whole" of the film was unsatisfying (due to be being 3 seperate episodes from the aborted TV series strung together) the actual execution of each of the three "stories" was much better than I was expecting. I expecially liked how each story didn't try to cram in all the supporting characters, and selected characters only were involved in each mission. And while not attempting to copy Michael J Fox's voice, the replacement Milo voice succeeded in capturing the essence of the character.
If one assumes that the 3 episodes were a template for how the series would have turned out, how many people here think Disney was wrong to cancel the series? Personally I think that "Team Atlantis" could have been a smash-hit on television - and presumably generate more interest in the original film. After all it looked like "Team Atlantis" was going to be filled with monsters, ghosts and Atlantian technology. Would it really have failed?
Oh well, another bad business decision from Disney, I think.
