To compare it to the Limited DVD release is a mistake since that series of DVDs is across the board awful. It was a half hearted poorly managed first foray into DVDs. I wouldn't need one hand to count the films they got right in that series.

in terms of video that might be true on some, more or less. but in the audio department many of these releases excell compared to the later released edition. tlm, mulan contained the original theatrical mixes. both of these movies suffered on the platinum dvd.
