You can stream Jellyfish Eyes (2013) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

In present-day Japan, little Masashi moves from an evacuation center to a small village. There, he will discover that every child has the ability to communicate with a fantastic creature, but they are being used in an evil plan to collect the children’s negative energy.

Tiny children find themselves weaponized by a sinister plot designed to harvest their darkest emotions. This vibrant animation pairs whimsical creature designs with a surprisingly somber look at how innocence is exploited.
