Editorial Review:
Allllll righty then. Let's get to it. As Ace Ventura Pet Detective Jim Carrey instantly soared to stardom while tearing decorum to pieces. The award-winning actor plays the screwloose sleuth determined to sniff out the Miami Dolphins' missing mascot and quarterback Dan Marino. Jim Carrey returns in Ace Ventura When Nature Calls as the alligator-wrasslin' elephant-calling monkeyshining loogie-launching burning coals-crossing disguise-mastering pet detective. Includes a bonus DVD with specially selected cartoons from the hit TV show Ace Ventura The Animated Series.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 012569804340 Manufacturer No: 80434
Description of Ace Ventura Deluxe Double Feature (Pet Detective / When Nature Calls):
The Ace Ventura Deluxe Double Feature offers both Pet Detective and When Nature Calls in anamorphic widescreen with soundtracks in Dolby 5.1 and (not indicated on the packaging) DTS. The original DVD of Pet Detective was full-screen (1.33 aspect ratio) only, though it had a scene with Ace masquerading as Hans Kissvelvet, the dolphin trainer, that was dropped from the theatrical release. The deluxe edition is missing this scene. The deluxe edition also has a third disc with three episodes (about 70 minutes total) from the 1995-96 Ace Ventura animated series with Michael Hall as the voice of Ace. --David Horiuchi
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was the 1994 box-office hit that turned comedy maniac Jim Carrey into Hollywood's first $20-million man. This gag-filled no-brainer stars Carrey as the titular rubber-faced gumshoe who tracks down lost pets for his heartbroken clients. Ace's latest case involves the apparent kidnapping of the Miami Dolphins' team mascot, Snowflake the dolphin (natch), and his investigation is a source of constant irritation for Miami police lieutenant Lois Einhorn (Sean Young). Friends fans will appreciate the presence of Courtney Cox, who remains admirably straight-faced as the Dolphins' publicist and Ace's would-be girlfriend, but of course it's Carrey who steals the show with shameless abandon. --Jeff Shannon
In When Nature Calls, the inevitable sequel, the disappearance of a rare African white bat, draws Ace (Carrey again) out of his spiritual retreat at a Tibetan monastery following the tragic outcome of his previous case. That traumatic experience, which makes for a hilarious opening-scene send-up of the Stallone thriller Cliffhanger, prompts Ace to venture to Africa, where he goes native with the tribe that hired him to find their symbolic bat. From that point anything goes, with Carrey pushing the boundaries of good taste (what, you were expecting good taste?) up to and including his now-infamous "birth" scene from the backside of a mechanical rhinoceros. Lighten up, and don't be ashamed if you find yourself laughing. --Jeff Shannon
Ace Ventura Deluxe Double Feature (Pet Detective / When Nature Calls) Reviews:
Very nice but could be better.... 
2008-04-17 - Ok, first off, yes they made the first movie Widescreen finaly and they redid the transfers to make them look much better. The sound is improved as well with 5.1 on the first movie.
However, why did they delete the dolphin trainer bit where he talks to the reporters. I mean WTF....Also, they should have made the first one an extended version like was on TV once. On TV they showed a version that had 4 or 5 new scenes added and they were great.
Even though it could have been better it was still worth the money for this set which now looks great on my bigscreen HD TV. The old version looked pretty bad compared to today's standard dvds.
A Very Excellent Set Alrighty then! 
2008-03-24 - This is a very excellent set of ACE, if you don't own these films on DVD. then go right ahead and buy them if is that your case. al-righty then! the film are nicely transferred. but as is the case i don't think it comes with any extras except the trailers of on each disc of the films. to me tone loc is a good actor and should keep on doing it.
the cartoons are just as funny as the films on the third disc.
Highly Recommended Set
For older kids and adults 13 and older. PG-13 for Adult Bathroom Humor and language , but quite funny i must say.
ACE VENTURA RULES
2008-02-29 - I definitely believe that these are the best movies Jim Carrey made, his style is very particular and he succeeded to keep the same quality in both movies.
LLLLLLLLike A Glove
2008-01-28 - This was easily one of the best DVD sets I've ever bought. Both Ace Venturas in one set, and includes the cartoon series. This was a great buy, and well worth it for the price. If you like the movies, you'll love this set. Not sure what some of these people are cryin about. You knew what you were getting when you bought it. If you like Ace Ventura, buy this set!!
completely awesome
2007-12-29 - you cannot get enough of Jim Carreys pointless humor!!
i have never watched a movie as much as ace ventura!!
