A comedy film series featuring Ace Ventura, an eccentric Miami-based private detective who specializes in retrieval of tame and captive animals.

Ace Ventura's success spawned a 1995 sequel, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, with Carrey reprising his role — as well as an animated series and a standalone made-for-TV film without him.

Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, returns from a spiritual quest to investigate the disappearance of a rare white bat, the sacred animal of a tribe in Africa.
