7.2/10

A-Tier

A-Tier Disney 4K. This was THE most-requested 4K in the collector community, and the announcement generated massive excitement. The cannons on the DVD had legendary bass that the Blu-ray neutered with a 25Hz filter, so the 4K audio is being closely watched. Disney left out the 70-minute making-of documentary from the DVD, which frustrated people who wanted a definitive release.
