Call Me Mother is first Asian film to film inside Hong Kong Disneyland

The Metro Manila Film Festival entry "Call Me Mother," starring Vice Ganda and Nadine Lustre, is the first Asian film to be granted permission to film inside Hong Kong Disneyland.

A significant scene in the movie features Vice Ganda with child actor Lucas Andalio, interacting with Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, and Goofy.

Director Jun Lana credited Perci Intalan, who previously worked at Disney, for securing the rare opportunity to film with the characters.

Lana became emotional during the shoot, noting the tight 15-minute window they had to capture the scenes, comparing the experience to working with superstars.

Vice Ganda also shared that the production received exclusive access to specific areas of the park, including the iconic Disneyland castle.

Vice Ganda expressed pride in the achievement, stating they had exclusive access to the park for a whole day, and were the third film globally to have this privilege.
