Both tracks on the Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray are badly remixed.

Disney 4K Blu-ray, see caps https://slow.pics/c/hE3HUCdj

Disney 4K Atmos is great, a reference quality track. It's a very slight remix (music seems to be from a better source), but it's completely seamless and faithful to the original, better fidelity than anything since the 1994 30th Anniversary Edition LaserDisc.

All DVDs (and 2010 Blu-ray) sound far worse than the 4K Blu-ray/LaserDisc and have various missing sound cues.

For the most part, the mono track available on the BD and UHD is fine, but there's an 8 minutes long segment which sounds terrible with artificially expanded frequency range causing very audible artifacting. The 5.1 remix doesn't have that issue. Sample

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray is disappointing (review)

Criterion 4K Blu-ray > Capelight/Kino Lorber which has heavy noise reduction and opening snare hit is missing, Capelight is slightly better encoded than Kino Lorber

But still a bit overly noise-managed.

1984 CBS/Fox Hi-Fi VHS maybe better?

An undeniably significant improvement from the BD yet still severely flawed. See DFIC's review.

WB Europe 4K Blu-ray slightly better encoding than Criterion (caveat: missing Criterion extras)
