The film is set in a civilisation led by animals without the pesky interference of humans. It follows the adventure of a fast-talking fox, hoping to make it big, who is forced to go on the run after being framed for a crime he didn’t commit.

Elba will voice Chief Bogo, head of the Zootopia Police Department. This isn’t his only involvement with Disney in recent months. He will lend his voice to The Jungle Book’s Shere Khan in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation.
