    Jim was hilarious in this film as he plays a pet detective who is after a dolphin called Snowflake who got kidnapped. Who could be the mastermind behind the dolphin's disappearance you have to find out? The year this film came out would be Jim Carrey's year as he had 2 other films after this.
  • Jim Carrey in The Mask (1994)
