The 30 minute video, which has swept across the internet, has sparked worldwide attention including a wave of support across Twitter and Facebook.
Speaking at a Womens' Day event on Thursday in New York, Jolie said, "I don't know anyone who doesn't hate Kony."
"He's an extraordinarily horrible human being who, you know...his time has come and it's lovely to see that young people are raising up as well."
A host of celebrities, including George Clooney, Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Oprah, joined the virtual chorus of support for the cause.
The campaign was the work of Invisible Children, a San Diego-based non-profit headed by Jason Russell, a filmmaker who had travelled to northern Uganda.
The group urged people to help make Kony "famous," and many high school and college students especially responded to the message focused on helping innocent children. The Lord's Resistance Army has been notorious for kidnapping children and forcing them to fight.
The video has been heavily criticised for promoting a misunderstanding of the situation - beginning with the fact that Kony is believed to have long since fled Uganda for South Sudan.art eating for at least one," the source added.
