Oobi ended in 2005 because the creator, Josh Selig, started working on another show for Nickelodeon: "Wonder Pets." Nick wanted to order more episodes of Oobi, but Josh Selig insisted that he should only focus on one show at a time. He decided to stop production on Oobi to work full-time on Wonder Pets.

Oobi still airs in reruns on Nickelodeon's international channels. In 2012, a foreign remake of Oobi called "Oobi: Dasdasi" premiered in the Middle East and Asia. It is sometimes called a spin-off but is more similar to a localized adaptation. "Dasdasi" continues to play on IRIB TV as one of its most-viewed kids' TV shows.

The original Oobi show ended with 100 individual stories (48 shorts and 52 long-form episodes). "Dasdasi" had 78 episodes, bringing the total to 178! Quite the run for a kids' show.

Whatever that is, the project was likely canned to save money. I do not know exactly.
