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.

1988 MGM/Turner Hi-Fi VHS: Detailed and natural.
2008 R1 Warner Bros DVD - Frank Sinatra Collection: More muffled due to noise reduction.
2015 Warner Bros Blu-ray: Like the DVD but with a treble boost. Also a lossy transcode.
