The Ace Ventura franchise, originally created by Jack Bernstein, consists of American detective-comedies, with two theatrical films, one made-for-television film, and one animated television series. The overall story follows the criminal investigations of the titular and comedic pet detective.

While the first and second films were met with mixed reviews, they were successful at the box office and are credited with launching the career of Jim Carrey. The two films have earned the status of cult classics.[1][2][3][4]
