🦜 “All righty then… but make it prehistoric!”

After decades of speculation, nostalgic memes, and fan campaigns, the legendary pet detective is officially back in “Ace Ventura 3: Lost in Time” — a wild, time-hopping adventure that brings the iconic character into a brand-new, hilariously chaotic setting. Buckle up, because Ace Ventura is no longer just chasing pets… he’s chasing history itself.

🕵️‍♂️ Plot Overview

When an experimental time-travel device built by an eccentric tech billionaire (Evan Peters) goes haywire, it inadvertently pulls Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey) out of retirement — and into the ancient past. But he’s not alone. A mysterious syndicate from the future is capturing endangered animals across time for illegal trade, and Ace is the only man crazy enough to stop them.

From battling saber-toothed tigers in the Ice Age to riding dinosaurs through the Jurassic, and even crash-landing in a Victorian-era zoo, Ace’s mission spans multiple eras — with only his zany instincts, some classic one-liners, and a time-traveling parrot named Einstein to guide him.

🐘 What’s New? What’s Classic?

• Jim Carrey’s return (though unconfirmed officially) brings back the rubber-faced genius who defined slapstick comedy in the ’90s.

• New cast members like Awkwafina inject modern energy, playing a quirky inventor trying to recalibrate the timeline.

• The film blends sci-fi elements with classic Ace Ventura humor, including over-the-top facial expressions, animal impressions, and, of course, plenty of talking with his butt.

• Expect references to the earlier films, including nods to Snowflake the dolphin, Ray Finkle, and even Ace Jr. from the 2009 spinoff.

🎥 Trailer Tease Highlights

• Opens with Ace standing atop a woolly mammoth, screaming “I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I AM, BUT THE AIR IS CRISP!”

• Montage of time-travel chaos: Ace dancing with cavemen, mistaken for a prophet in ancient Egypt, and chasing velociraptors on roller skates.

• A dramatic yet comical standoff with the villain (played by Ben Schwartz) who says, “You’re out of time, Ventura.” Ace replies, “I’m never on time.”

🔥 Expectations & Legacy

This third entry walks the tightrope between honoring the absurd brilliance of the original films and adapting to a new generation of comedy lovers. Fans hope it marks a true return for Carrey, blending nostalgia with ambitious time-bending storytelling and all the chaotic animal-related antics audiences adore.

If successful, Ace Ventura 3 could be the start of an unexpected franchise revival — or at least a reminder of just how wild, weird, and wonderful 90s comedy really was.

🕶️ Final Thoughts

Whether you’re an old-school Ace fan or just discovering him for the first time, “Lost in Time” promises a riotous ride through history — led by the most eccentric detective ever to wear a Hawaiian shirt and talk to ferrets. One thing’s for sure:

“It’s gonna be a bumpy, banana-scented ride… All righty then!”
