Pathe owns international rights to SMB '93 (they own the output of co-producer Allied Filmmakers) and regularly enforce region locking on titles they licence out to third parties.
Despite Hollywood Pictures also being a co-producer, I don't think Disney owns US rights (or at least video/TV/digital) to SMB anymore. They haven't had it up on streaming and didn't create a new master outside the old letterbox DVD. Worth noting that Hollywood/Disney co-produced and distributed An American Werewolf in London (with JM Entertainment) in the US around this period. Their rights expired long after the old LB DVD and now Filmrise/Screen Media owns US distribution as part of the JM Entertainment catalog they own.
