Jello Mould from "The Innocents"

[Oni Warlord]

Okay, this is going to be a bit of an odd prop.

I need to make the jello rabbit that the boy back-hands in the movie The Innocents. I figured that I would easily be able to find a similar mould at some stores. That would be true... if I lived in the UK.

The US seems to have a huge lack of good looking rabbit moulds. The ones I could find were $40 or more compared to £2.50. Quite a contrast. :wacko If I am going to spend the money, I might as well make my own mould instead of buying a piece of plastic with shipping.

What would be the best material to use? Would a vac-form method work well? I don't want to poison people that eat the jello. :ninja

Thanks for your help on this odd one. :angel

Picture of it. It's a bit small, but an exact replica is not needed.

Does no one know or do you think this is dumb? I don't blame you if you do. :cool

I really don't know, honestly it looks like a sea turtle look for cake molds. My wife has some different animals a coiled snake, and a big rat it's neat she got it at a store called Micheals. Hope it helps

it kind of reminds me of the shape of those chocolate easter bunnies! You know, the ones with the yellow crunchy eyes and blue pupils?

Weren't those moulds originally made from copper? I remember, when I was young my mother had copper moulds of a fish, a rabbit, and something else hanging decoratively on the wall. I don't believe she has them any more. She got rid of a lot of stuff after half a dozen moves.

I'd always wanted to see this movie and caught it recently on TCM or AMC or some such channel. It seemed about as good as The Haunting, but like the Haunting, I felt it left things a bit up to interpretation. Was it ghosts? The nanny felt crazy more than anything, or am I just projecting onto it? Where as in the Haunting, it almost felt like her sexual angst was driving her insane after she failed with the young man, the lesbian and the married man.

It was a very odd movie, but it was fun.

Yeah, they were made out of copper. I have a few copper moulds but none of them are a rabbit. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to find something similar in the US. :unsure

A standard Google search for rabbit mold turned up a couple pictures.
From what I can tell on a cooking site you may be looking for a Pre War era mold.
