Traditional
Primary
The film is a slapstick comedy centered on an eccentric pet detective solving a crime, with its core conflict and resolution being largely apolitical and focused on individual initiative rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
The movie features traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, without engaging in critical portrayals or centering on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective features its primary antagonist, Lieutenant Lois Einhorn, who is revealed to be Ray Finkle, a cisgender man living as a woman. This revelation is played for extreme shock and disgust, with the protagonist reacting with revulsion. The film uses this identity as a source of mockery and villainy, reinforcing harmful stereotypes and presenting the character's identity as inherently repulsive. The net impact is negative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1995 animated series is an adaptation of the 1994 film. The main character, Ace Ventura, remains male. No established characters from the source material were portrayed with a different gender in the animated series.
The film "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" (1995) introduces original characters without prior established racial identities from source material, previous installments, or history. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
