I was going to say that I'm sure they'll both be better than the movie, but I realized I would be saying that to a screenwriter. Would you be offended?

Who's surprised?<BR/><BR/>I have to admit, by the way, that I'm actually looking forward to the movie of Horton as I think it has a shot of being truly Seuss-worthy. But it probably won't have the same ending as my Oddaptation.
