Features brief clips of "Friend Like Me", and "A Whole New World".

Also, first real look at what Abu looks like, and the type of humor in the movie.

Thoughts?

I think you're thinking of Mulan.

This looks like a better trailer. We get a stronger sense of the story and visuals, and Will Smith is able to showcase more of his personality. Based on this new trailer and the poster, this version of Aladdin seems to be more of an adventure film than a comedy, and I believe that this is a good thing. However, I am not impressed by what I have seen of Jafar (I don't think he will step out of Johnathan Freeman's shadow) and the animals look like they will probably be superfluous. The main question affecting all Live-Action Disney remakes (will this be a good film on its own terms?) goes unanswered - we will have to wait until Memorial day to find out whether this can be more than another lavish remake...

This trailer is definitely a lot better than the teasers. I'm fine with Jafar, because a live-action 50 year old hitting on a teenage princess wouldn't go over well in 2019. He still could be a bit more menacing though, but I'll save my judgments for the film. My other main gripe is the lighting. Some of the scenes look cheap, almost soap opera level. Then you have shots like Jasmine with the rose petals falling around her that looks stunning.

Did they say anything about new songs being written for this?  Or maybe some of the songs from the Broadway Musical being included in this version?

Pasek and Paul have written 2 or 3 new songs, including one for Jasmine which is apparently called “Speechless”...

I don’t expect the new songs to surpass the originals, but as long as they aren’t all ballads like the new additions to Beauty and the Beast, I will be happy...

Music sequences and Will Smith as the Genie seem promising

Withholding judgment re: lighting, etc. Studios' marketing folk are notorious about kicking up brightness and reducing frame rate for scenes in trailers (and worse) TV ads. The shots go by so quickly they don't want audience's eyes hunting for detail in dark or shaded areas. MANY times I've thought something looked over-lit or cheap only to find it pleasing in the theater or on Bluray/4K.

Atleast the singing is somewhat pleasing unlike Beauty and the Beast. Naomi sounds good as Jasmine.
