Disney've already notice.

The "Tarzan - special edition" has trailers for the Tigger Movie
and
Little Mermaid 2, neither of which can be fast forwarded through ;-(

Received "Mummy Returns" on Monday on Region 1 DVD ... OK, as
films go
it's not great but one thing that really p's me off nowadays is the
habit the studios are getting into for putting studio trailers in.

Dinosaurs was bad enough with several minutes of "adverts" for
other
Disney movies before hitting the menu but Universal have stuck theirs in
after selecting "Play Movie".

I have no problem with studios sticking trailers on DVDs as extras but I
hate having to sit through them - how long before the studios make them
so that you can't fast forward through them like they do with the FBI
notices? (Thankfully my 300 disc DVD changers hack does allow FBI skip
but one of my players doesn't!)
