The Princess and the Frog is surely one of the most under-appreciated films in Disney's back catalogue, a vibrant and refreshingly diverse spin on the typical Disney princess formula.

Singer-actress Anika Noni Rose provided the voice for teenage protagonist Tiana, and some fans eventually noticed that Tiana is one of two only two Disney princesses - the other being Mulan - to be left-handed.

And this was actually a request from none other than Rose herself, who being left-handed, felt that translating her own left-handedness into the character would represent her all the more accurately on-screen.

Ultimately, the animators not only agreed but also included Anika's own facial dimples in the final design for Tiana.
