America probably had a different reaction. Namely, Arrested what? It's not that the sitcom has lacked for publicity. The story of the eccentric, wealthy Bluth family, thrown into chaos when the sEC investigates the Bluth house-building business, was singled out by the New York Times as the show that might "save the sitcom." But all the plaudits may have convinced people only that the show was another critic's darling that would be too much work to watch.

When Bluth and Goldman signed on, the movie took on a new title and a new direction-due to expenses and the difficulty involved with character animation in CGI, the original plan of a 100 percent CGI epic was scrapped in favor of the current format.
