I have this image growing up of a scene I saw on the tv. Years later this scene still 'haunts' me. It wasn't a scary scene, I just have never been able to place where the image was from. I feel like it MAY be this movie.
This is what I remember:
A scene with a carriage approach a building. Victorian type setting. There is a character who opens the carriage door dressed in victorian type clothing, but has the head of a FISH! Or maybe its that the fish headed looking character was a doctor in this scene?! I'm not sure! Can anyone help? Does this sound like a scene or image from this movie. I know years and years later that my memory may have distorted what happened in the scene, but this is what I can recall that has been haunting me and I just want to find the answer.
It was a live-action (not animated film) with a 'sci-fi' type feel to it.
Thank you for your help

Well its not Gulliver's Travels, that is for sure.
This sounds very much like Alice in Wonderland. There were a few TV movies/mini-series. Two-live-action TV movies were done in 1985 and in 1999. Both I believe had a Fishhead person opening the door for a carriage. I am not a hundred percent sure but I do believe that it may be what you are looking for.
Good Luck -

The 1985 Alice in Wonderland had a frog in the part you're thinking of. There was a fish head on one of the jury members at the end of the first part if I recall correctly. I'm not sure on the 1999 one (I only saw it once, and still prefer the 1985 version).

It was "Mom and Dad Save the World" (1992).
