"Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls" is a 1995 comedy film and the sequel to "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." Like its predecessor, the film is directed by Steve Oedekerk and stars Jim Carrey as the eccentric and comical private detective, Ace Ventura.
In "When Nature Calls," Ace Ventura is recruited to retrieve a sacred white bat, Shikaka, which has been stolen from the Wachati tribe of the fictional African country of Nibia. The bat is a crucial element in preventing a tribal war. As Ace embarks on his mission, he faces various absurd and humorous situations in the wild African landscape.
Similar to the first film, "When Nature Calls" features Jim Carrey's over-the-top physical comedy and zany humor. While the sequel received mixed reviews from critics, it performed well at the box office and has gained a following among fans of Carrey's comedic style. The character of Ace Ventura became iconic, and both films contributed to Jim Carrey's popularity as a comedic actor in the mid-1990s.
