I don't have the DVD myself, so I cannot verify the accuracy of this 
information, but The Digital Bits has a step-by-step walkthrough for 
all this game nonsense.  It's in their review, at the very bottom:

Also, may I just say that I agree with their sentiments with regards 
to the HP DVD's extra features 100%?  I suppose I understand why 
Warner Bros. targeted the disc toward children, but they seem to have 
completely ignored adults in the process, which is a bit silly for 
something they claim is a "family film", and even sillier for 
something with the widespread appeal of HP.

Also, you'll notice that underneath The Bits' walkthrough, it 
mentions that the deleted scenes are Titles 27-33, the knowledge of 
which may allow you to bypass all the silliness, although they 
couldn't figure out how themselves.  Well, at DVD File's review, they 
say the following:

"(Here's a hint: just use your remote's Title access feature (set 
Chapter to 1) and you can access all of the video pieces on the disc 
directly. But with nearly 100 separate titles, it is still a chore.)"

So perhaps by combining these two tidbits of information, you will 
find a way to access the features without having to play all the 
games.

Good luck!  I understand the frustration, although I have not yet had 
the, err, privilege of experiencing it myself.
