Disney's tale of an orphan boy who is raised in the jungle by a pack of wolves, a bear, and a black panther is almost upon us, and if you're looking to see how well the voice cast fares, we have a clip featuring the coolest of cats, Idris Elba. Playing the dreaded tiger Shere Khan, Elba's tone and diction injects the character with the perfect amount of calculated evil. Take a look at the clip and see for yourself!

Disney may have had a bit of a shakey start with MELEFICENT, but CINDERELLA proved to be a live-action “remake” worthy of the name. I'm not sure how excited I am to see a little kid run around a bunch of CG backgrounds and animals, but the voice talent is spot-on. In either case, I'm sure Disney fans will be flocking to theaters to check this one out next month.

THE JUNGLE BOOK opens in theaters on April 15, 2016.
