France

France L'Atelier d'images 4K Blu-ray best, but forced France subs

Pathé France Blu-ray is a different master and significantly better not only in compression or colors, but also aspect ratio than either US Blu-ray or Germany Blu-ray caps

Carlotta (France) far better than Blue Kino (Korea); caps

Carlotta is not English-friendly

Australia Umbrella Blu-ray or French Intersections Blu-ray no comparison available

Korea Nova Media Blu-ray probably > Criterion

France Carlotta 4K > Criterion 4K

France Carlotta 4K Blu-ray slightly better than Criterion 4K Blu-ray

Germany Hanselab 4K Blu-ray is disappointing with AI upscaling

Remastered Blu-ray only included as a pack-in with the 4K Blu-ray. Includes English subtitles and a dub, which the 4K Blu-ray does not.

4K Blu-ray includes the original 5.1 mix in its unaltered form, all other releases after the LaserDisc, as well as the remastered Blu-ray, had its dynamic range lowered.

For the English dub, the UK StudioCanal Blu-ray is the least limited mix.

US Disney Blu-ray has dubtitles. US GKIDS Blu-ray and Japan Studio Ghibli Blu-ray releases (both 2013, box set, and RM4K) have proper English subtitle translations.

Criterion has heavy DNR

Criterion is filtered. Comparisons

Lionsgate Limited 4K Blu-ray see caps. Much better contrast and grain exposure but the grade is a bit questionable as it skews heavily towards magenta in some caps and the encode looks low-pass filtered.

Lionsgate and the upcoming Imprint have the same discs.

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray encoded the "Original 5.1" as lossy Dolby Digital, which is very different from the AC3 on the original DVD.  This new "Original 5.1" may in fact be a downmix of the Atmos track.  FWIW, the original DVD AC3 still sounds very good.
