It definitely got cancelled. Fox promoted the show very poorly. I didn't even know it existed until a few years after it was off the air, despite having been a pretty regular Fox viewer.
There's a huge fanbase now, which is what allowed the movie to be made.
Sometimes great works are appreciated over time, maybe if the fan base continues to grow, you can see the show go back on air because money is king...

They also aired episodes out of order.

yes, that really killed it. Actually, Joss made something else right after. A youtube project.
