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.

Original 70mm 6-track mix (4.1): Arrow 4K Blu-ray

Arrow fixed the audio glitches found on Kino Lorber's disc.
The 5.1 remix on Arrow's disc sounds terribly tinny.

Eclair new 4k resto,
StudioCanal UK lower bitrate and yellow tint,
Kino Lorber did color correction on top of that, but maybe the old Shout! Factory/MoC 2k transfer with better color but worse details is better overall
