All of the cards are silly and fun! After the player has finished his or her turn, they get to eat the Skittle and place the completed card in their own personal stack. For example, the Joy cards have fun and silly things on the back and the Fear cards have spooky or scary actions and questions on them. They are all unique and have something to do with the emotion character on the card. Have the player do the action outlined on the card.

For instance, if they choose a red Skittle, then the player draws a red Anger card. The Skittle color designates what card that player draws from the table. Make sure their eyes are closed so they can't see the colors. To play, have the players take turns picking a Skittle from the bowl. Buy a combination of the Original and the Wild Berry flavors, so you have a Skittle to match each emotion's coordinating color. Lay them out on the table with each character in a separate stack. Either way, what can't be ignored is that this film is equal parts sad, and equal parts what I am sure will become a timeless classic in years to come.Cut the cards out. Overall then, I suppose my review is more of a comment on the type of film we exhibit to children, and how the Nanny-state we live in looks to protect them from most of lives inevitabilities. If a person was never sad, they would be inhumane. Why does it have to be? A little bit of sadness is necessary. From a more personal perspective, why should everything we show our children gloss over the reality of life, and try to make them believe everything is rosy 24/7? Again, what this film does brilliantly through the message I took away at the end was that life will never be 100% full of happiness, but that is fine.

I applaud the attempt from Pixar to make a film that is not only hilarious in places, but is also a major comment on what life is like to be a younger teenager, transitioning through one of the most important moments of life. They are not old enough to realise the message the film is trying to convey: that life isn't all about happiness. The majority of the complaints I saw were that the film was 'too depressing for a children's film', but whilst I see where they are coming from in some regards, every child who I have seen watch this film (I work in a cinema) has absolutely loved it, and laughed out loud almost constantly. I am not normally one to write reviews, but I couldn't help reading several for this film on this site that just did't seem to understand where I think the film was supposed to be coming from.
