Based on the evaluation form and the criteria outlined in the company mission and must
and want objectives, I would recommend the following rankings for the film proposals:
1. Keiko—One Whale of a Story (11)
Film Prioritization 3
2. My Life With Dalai Lama (10)
3. Escape From Rio Japuni (9)
4. Heidi (6)
5. Grand Island (5)
6. The Year of the Echo (3)
7. Nadia! (3)
The rankings are based on the evaluation form, which assigned weighted scores to each
proposal. Keiko—One Whale of a Story scored the highest with 11 points, followed by Escape
From Rio Japuni with 9 points. My Life With Dalai Lama scored 10 points and Heidi scored 6
points. Grand Island scored 5 points and The Year of the Echo and Nadia! both scored 3 points.
Keiko—One Whale of a Story is the highest-scoring project, as it meets all safety and
environmental standards, has a PG or G rating, has no adverse effect on other operations, and is
nominated for Best Picture of the Year. It also has the highest score in creating a new, major
animated character, generating additional merchandise, raising environmental concerns,
generating profit greater than 18%, advancing the state of film animation, and providing the basis
for a new theme ride.
My Life With Dalai is the second highest scoring project, as it meets all safety and
environmental standards, has a PG or G rating, has no adverse effect on other operations, and is
nominated for Best Picture of the Year (Luan & Kim 2022). It also has a high score in terms of
creating a new, major animated character, generating additional merchandise, raising
environmental concerns, generating profit greater than 18%, and advancing the state of film
animation.
