Disney, the company behind some of the world’s most popular children’s films, has been accused of “brown face” over a recently released Halloween costume.
Designed to represent that of Polynesian demigod Maui, who is a lead character in Disney’s upcoming film Moana, the full-body costume consists of a brown-skinned tattooed body suit, bone necklace and grass skirt.
Essentially, children can don the skin of a Polynesian person for fun, before simply removing it at the end of the night.

There are a lot of kids who revere Superheroes and TV characters. Probably because they are kids and don't care about this and want to be kids.
Now they can only do it for certain superheroes of a particular colour and it's somehow seen as a good thing. I thought we wanted to move beyond this.
Pick a kids costume and name your outrage.

I will actually be very interested to hear what the opinion of The Rock is on this one.
This issue aside, this looks like a wonderful movie, for starters, there's not bloody male love interest for the girl in the film - a first.
