4.0

A lot different from Disney, but in a good and gritty way.  It's a really great story to demonstrate the pain of yearning for something you can't have.  Also, the pain of sacrifice when it's done for someone else or lack of true understanding.  I also really appreciated the sisters and their love for the littlest mermaid.
