For better, or for worse, and everything in between, 2023 was a year for the record books.
As the year nears its completion, That Grape Juice is looking back on the moments that shaped the year in the Urban and Pop landscape.
Look below to see how the ‘Little Mermaid’ shaped the year.
The road to the ‘Little Mermaid’ movie has been a long one. Halle Bailey was cast as Ariel in 2019. Shortly after, Prince Eric was cast as Jonah Hauer-King.
The film wrapped filming 2 years later in 2021 and a release date was given of May. 26, 2023. However, before the film was released, it was met with racist backlash with several celebrities speaking out like Halle Berry and DDG.
The soundtrack was released from the film on May 19, 2023. Bailey even spoke with That Grape Juice about the movie and the film made history at the box office upon its debut.
An animated series was greenly after the success of the movie. The movie then made its way to Disney+ later in the year.

how exactly did
this flop make historu? By being the lowest bod office?!
Historu? Is that a word. “Bod office?” What’s that?
The Little Mermaid is ranks #6 for the year in U.S. box office receipts. $300 million, U.S.; $570 million worldwide. It also received a massive $56 million in C**** insurance pay-outs, and that doesn’t count toward box office. It sold almost as many tickets as Oppenheimer, which is #5 for the year.
You’ve been schooled. Now, learn to communicate effectively instead or you will continue to sound “dumb.”
The movie made Disney lose 100 millionof dollars.
It needed between 800 and 900 million just to break even at the box office.
The L has been very hard for Halle and all the retards that thought the movie was going to break any record !
Too bad she left DDG ruin it. Imagine her performing at an awards show? It would have been DIVINE!
