This has already had one release in Region 1, a "Limited Issue" release that was on sale for 60 days, then supposedly placed on moratorium for years. However, as is common with those "Limited Issue" releases, it unlikely to be on moratorium for long and the film is probably due for re-release next year, as part of Disney's "Gold Collection", probably with pretty much the same content. The details quoted below are in relation to the "Limited Issue" release. The Region 4 release misses out on: - Theatrical trailer
- THX certification
Okay, in essence there is not an awful lot of difference between the two releases, unless THX certification really means something to you and a theatrical trailer is a compelling extra. Since this is not the case for me, and THX certification seems to be a rather hit and miss affair, I would say that there is not much to choose between the two releases other than the PAL resolution of the Region 4 release. A direct comparison between the Region 1 and Region 4 releases indicates that there is not much difference at all visually, although to my ears the Region 1 sounds a little brighter. Really not much to choose between them at all here, so call it even.
