Hazel is a romantic comedy that explores the journey of a young woman navigating her personal relationships and discovering the importance of self-love. Through the narrative, Hazel learns that when she chooses herself, others will choose her too. The story offers a fresh perspective on age-old themes of love and self-discovery, with an emphasis on African American culture—a demographic often underrepresented in animation.
