I can find little info on 'Alice' for Brazil R4 (mostly just the Australian R4 which are apparently similar to the R1 releases).  I don't know enough Spanish and zero Portuguese to go through sites that might have reviews.

Unfortunately, Disney seems to be fairly uniform in their releases.  Blu-rays released in Europe are frequently the same as the U.S. releases that come several years later and Australian discs that frequently comes after that.

As far as Lion King, no LDrip appear to be floating around.  And while Aladdin has been plus-ed with detail for IMAX, Lion King has actual character design changes.

I love Cinderella and many other in-need-of-preservation-classics much more than Lion King, but the extent of the alterations puts it up there with Beauty and the Beast as one the most in need of preservation.

Aladdin's changes are respectful by comparison (but still unwarranted).

Disney still has unaltered/unrestored film scans somewhere of their oldest films that may yet get a proper restoration.  I fear the newer films that were modified for IMAX have had their digital data altered and might not be able to be restored to their theatrical version.
