Space Jam was one of the first popular animated movies. There is a very short list of animated movies that were successful prior to the release of Space Jam. There are only five animated films that are grossing higher than space jam that were released before Space Jam.

To begin, Angels in America had multiple messages throughout the show due to the different conflicts that existed amongst characters.
