Still processing this one. Not really sure what to make of it. But love that LMM is honoring the legacy of Americans doing cringe-y over-the-top cockney accents in Mary Poppins movies... haha
Maybe there are a couple surprises that they're trying to still keep under wraps, and that's why Lansbury wasn't mentioned... I hope this to be the case for Julie Andrews.
It looks stunning! It's odd they just had her sing a few notes, though -- I get they're trying to say that it's a musical without giving too much away, but either show more or show less!

Well, yes, but she's part of the trailer!

The animation sequence looks absolutely beautiful.

She is not a major character (doesn't even get a proper name beyond "Balloon Lady". And from previous reports, I believe she only appears in the one sequence/number showcased. I would guess that's why she isn't listed with the main cast in the trailer. Matter of billing.
Julie Andrews will not be in this movie. Don’t get your hopes up.
With that said, MP is my favorite film of all time and I have been skeptical about this entire project.... but man oh man, was that trailer magical. This is going to be the movie event of the year. I cannot wait!

Not sure if you're joking, but it kinda looked like a face/head-replacment CGI job. (or at least it does on my laptop... will watch it HD/big screen later)

Yes, how dare they put a Puerto Rican in WWII London where white people can sing and dance with cartoon animals and fly on bikes! The shame of the movie being unrealistic with that casting alone!
