Yes, there is Gelatin in Jolly Rancher Gummies.

Answer 2

That depends on where you are getting them. Skittles in the US contain Gelatin, but Skittles made in Europe do not.

Here is an example of gelatin-free skittles: http://store.alsundus.com/skitfre.html

Answer

Mars has begun to make Skittles gelatin- and gluten-free here in the US, but if you are considering them for vegan consumption, do also consider that the glossy outer shell is made from shellac, which is a waxy substance produced from the lac bug, and often contains microscopic bug parts before and after the shellac is filtered and purified.

I am not a vegan myself, so I'm unsure if there are vegans that don't consider bugs or insects as precious as animals. I suppose you have to decide whether or not Skittles are delicious enough not to care. Nevertheless, Skittles will always be made, whether or not you consume them, so why not enjoy the rainbow of juicy fruit flavors?

Answer 3

The Gelatin used in Skittles is not suitable for vegitarians or Kosher. ;]

Gelatin is made by boiling crushed animal bones (usually bovine) in water and drying the jelly that is created from the dissolving bones.

I'd also consider that if your skittles contain E120 (cochineal) or shellac, that these are both derived from crushed Insects.
