Yes, you can skip it.
You cannot skip the intro on your laptop. Something is loading every step of the way, and any animation you see is just to keep you entertained while that happens.

Pressing start should skip the scenes although you may need to watch them at least once.
I think when the intro is playing, the game is actually in the process of loading.

You can't skip past the first cutscene that appears when you start a new file on the game as Sora but you can skip the cutscenes that come after that. here's how you do it: during a cutscene hold down the start button. if it does'nt skip the scene when you do this then press the A button while you are still holding the start button.
i have halo reach for xbox and i was able to skip the intro many times. All i did was i kept hitting random buttons. after the bungie symbol came up, i kept hitting start and back and that took me to the campaighn menu. i hope this helps.
Intro is short for Introduction.
