Earlier today actor Josh Gad released the trailer for his latest Reunited Apart YouTube special, revealing that the cast of The Lord of the Rings feature film series will come together once again for a bit of online fellowship.

We’ve collected some of the best reactions to the news below, which is frankly a wave of positivity and excitement that we could all use.The full reunion episode featuring the Lord of the Rings cast will be available on YouTube, this Sunday, May 31, starting at 9:00 AM PT/12:00 PM ET.
