The most recent clip for this year's anthropomorphic Disney film, Zootopia, proves once again that Idris Elba can make anything sound sexy. The Golden Globe winner voices Chief Bogo, a buffalo in charge of the local police office, and he starts putting some order in the absolutely adorable-looking movie.

According to USA Today, Disney has just released the first official clip of the upcoming movie, and on it, Elba's character addresses the elephant in the room. This being, of course, a literal elephant, Francine, who's celebrating his birthday on that day so obviously, he should be properly addressed.

In the clip, which is less than a minute long, Chief Bogo says that the top priority fir the team right now is locating some predators that have gone missing, because City Hall is "on his tail" to find them.

Last October, Elba brought home some puns to talk about his character in the animated film, saying he'd "grabbed the part by the horns" and Chief Bogo gave him some "serious shoulder envy." Not bad, Luther!

As Slash Film reports, Elba is just following the trend set by the film, which is filled with animal-related puns, such as shrew mobsters, a lion mayor, a fox con artist and a rabbit police officer.

In the film, Ginnifer Goodwin voices an adorable rabbit who joins the police force, which is populated by big animals from this anthropomorphic society run by mammals, and has to try too hard to be taken seriously. In a very clear reference to current issues like equal pay, Goodwin's character has to earn her place in the police by bringing in a witness, a cunning fox played by Jason Bateman.

Zootopia, which releases in March, is the first of two films Walt Disney Animation Studios is releasing this year. It will be followed by Moana next November, the new South Pacific Disney princess.
