Awesome / A Monster in Paris

• Both times Francoeur sings. The first when he sings his mournful song of being the monster of Paris, but especially the second. He sheepishly gets into the far-too-small musician's box as the crowd laughs at him. Then, he begins to play, stunning both the crowd and the musicians. And then he slowly begins to sing along with Lucille, before jumping onstage with her and dancing like he was born to.
• The alley scene where we get a glimpse of Francoeur looking the part of a horror movie monster.
  • Heck, every moment where he's painted as a movie monster, doing a surprisingly good job of throwing off the audience that he's really a frightening monster.
• Francoeur's flashback holds one for the film makers: his transformation seen through his own eyes.
• The climax holds many:
  • Raoul pulls a Go Through Me to protect Lucille and Francoeur.
  • Lucille basically telling Maynott who the real monster is and wrestling the gun away from, especially considering he dwarfs her!
  • Emile, sick of being bullied and belittled because of his size, takes a level in badass and fights with Maynott directly. And wins by using his wits!
    Emile: It's always been like this. The big ones taking advantage of the little ones. NOT ANYMORE!
• Paté's epic Heel–Face Turn.
  Paté: Commissioner…
  Maynott: Ah, Paté, hello!
  Paté: I have a message from the Interior Minister.
  Maynott: Message?
  Paté: He's not happy with all the destruction caused by your psychopathic chase in pursuit of your own ambition.
  Maynott: But as everyone can plainly see, I have risked my life! (whispering) Paté, I slayed the monster! (speaking normally) Tell that to the Minister!
  Paté: With pleasure. Victor Maynott, I’m arresting you for the premeditated murder of Monsieur Francoeur.
  Maynott: WHAT?! Have your lost your mind?!
  Paté: The opposite. I was so set in being a loyal officer, I did not see the road you'd been taking us down. I needed a flea to show me the way.
  Maynott: Are you mad?! It was just a miserable little flea!
  Paté: You were so inept, Sir. There was more humanity in that flea than the LOUSE I see before me now! Take him away!
