Well, the theory is very murky. Because either in the movie's continuity Bambi and his mother are toons, in which case it was all acting for an in-universe Bambi movie, and thus Bambi's mother (the toon actress, that is) is alive and well; or in this continuity, Bambi and his mother aren't toon actors but real animals, in which case… why would Judge Doom have anything to do with it ?

The thing is, this whole theory came from a joke. Eddie Valiant was going to say at one point of the movie that the guy who killed his brother was "probably the same guy who killed Bambi's mother"; but contrary to popular misunderstanding, it was obviously not meant to be taken seriously. It was a joke from an old private who was used to working with toons, a metaphor to mean that he's brother's death was for him as traumatizing as the death of his mother was for Bambi, and that the killer (whom at that point he does not yet know to be Judge Doom) has remained as invisible as the Hunter who killed Bambi's mother.
