There are some things in this world that just feel SO right: A hot bath on a cold evening. A crisp breeze on a steamy summer’s day. New shoes that don’t give you blisters. And perhaps above all, this Reese Witherspoon news.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Hot Pursuit actress is set to star as Peter Pan’s poison-consuming fairy sidekick Tinker Bell in a new live-action Disney movie, aptly titled Tink. She’ll also produce the flick, alongside her producing partner Bruna Papandrea, and Victoria Strouse—who penned the upcoming Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory—is writing the script. While details are scarce, the plot will “play with the idea and the timeline of the well-known Peter Pan narrative,” sort of like what Maleficent was to Sleeping Beauty.

Disney’s been going a little cuckoo recently creating movies featuring live actors as some of its most beloved characters—not that we’re complaining. In addition to this year’s Cinderella and the highly anticipated Beauty & The Beast remake, the studio is also said to be working on updates of Dumbo and Winnie the Pooh. Though hopefully the latter won’t include that terrifying Heffalumps and Woozles scene. Shudder.

Despite Witherspoon’s status as a super adorable Oscar winner who is probably a fairy in real life anyway, she’s arguably got some really big, really tiny shoes to fill. The role of Tinker Bell has, in the past, been portrayed by such talented players as Julia Roberts (in Hook), a cartoon, and a blinking flashlight. Here’s hoping she can handle the pressure!

Now the real question is… who should play Peter? Maybe Robert Pattinson for a little Water for Elephants reunion? We can totally see it.
