Ace Ventura Movies: Release Order
The Ace Ventura franchise follows the misadventures of an eccentric pet detective who specializes in finding missing animals. Jim Carrey originated the role in 1994's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a film that transformed him from a sketch comedy performer into a bona fide movie star. The character's outrageous antics, rubber-faced expressions, and memorable catchphrases made Ace an instant cultural icon.
This success led to Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls just one year later, which sent Ace on a jungle adventure in Africa. Over a decade later, Ace Ventura Jr.: Pet Detective arrived as a direct-to-video release focusing on Ace's son - notably without Jim Carrey's involvement.
