Inspector Pâté

Inspector Pâté is a supporting character of the French animated film, A Monster in Paris.
He is voiced by Philippe Peythieu in the french version and by Bob Balaban in the english version.
== Description ==
Pâté is the devoted Victor Maynott's right-hand. He is the one who finds out that Francoeur is actually a flea that mutated with a mixture of vials. Although he will follow Maynott in his plans, Pâté will redeem himself when he sees the malice of the commissioner who wants to kill Francoeur for his personal ambitions.
== History ==
The inspector appears for the first time at The Rare Bird cabaret with Maynott and Carlotta, Lucille's aunt, the protagonist. The three then listen to her famous song, La Seine.
Learning that a "monster" is terrorizing people, Pâté investigates as fast as he can. With the police, he goes to the Botanical Gardens where he finds the piece of reel cut by Emile earlier in the film. He then goes to the cinema where he finds the projectionist with Raoul and questions them.
In Maynott's office, he scrolls through the photos taken by Emile and deduces that Francoeur has become giant following an explosion of a combination of two vials of the Professor. Considering Raoul and Emile as guilty, Pâté wants to stop them but his superior decides to honor them for what they have done, to the inspector's surprise.
Later, Pâté searches the cabaret with Maynott and the authorities when Albert, the waiter, says that Francoeur is there. However, Lucille manages to hide the flea and Albert is arrested for false evidences to the police.
Pâté is present to the side of Maynott and Carlotta during the inauguration of the Montmartre funicular. When Francoeur attacks Lucille, Maynott launches the "antidote" given by Emile earlier which then makes the monster disappear. But Pâté sees that something is wrong and spots Francoeur hidden under a trapdoor with Charles.
Out of his hinges, Maynott tracks him down in the city and the inspector directs the airship but gets tired and realizes that Francoeur is not as bad as everyone says.
Pâté then climbs to the Eiffel Tower lighthouse after Francoeur's "death" and arrests Maynott for public endangerment and animal cruelty. We learn later that Pâté became the new commissioner of Paris and is seen for the last time dancing with Carlotta at the cabaret.
