American Magic: The Sequel (2005-present)

Maybe in this timeline Alan Moore’s works are more properly adapted into films.
I still think that Hugo Weaving was the perfect choice for V. Also if Gemini owns V there's no reason why they don't own Watchmen too.
Rough cast for Bonkers, which will be both animation and live action, reminiscent of Roger Rabbit.
Confirmed
Jim Cummings as Bonkers D Bobcat
Frank Welker as Fall Apart
Nancy Cartwright as Fawn Deer
Ron Perlman as Sgt Grating
Up for grabs
Lucky Piquel: John Goodman, Kevin James, Nathan Lane or Robbie Coltrane
Miranda Wright: Jennifer Aniston, Kelly Preston, Julie Bowen, Cameron Diaz or Uma Thurman
Marilyn Piquel: Brie Larson, Demi Lovato, AnnaSophia Robb, Dakota Fanning or Abigail Breslin
Prince Von Rotten (main villain): Hayden Christensen, Steve Buscemi, Alan Cumming or Mark Hamill

What's the next meaty update? Because while I enjoy updates for this timeline, a post with a few pictures and the implication that the biggest change is the studio making it isn't exactly meaty.

In 1990's Hollywood, Bonkers D. Bobcat (Jim Cummings) is the biggest cartoon star at Wackytoons. It all comes crashing down when a gossip magazine reveals which toons are "Hot" and which are "Not," and Bonkers is saddened to learn he is "Not." Wackytoons president W.W. Wacky (Albert Brooks) unceremoniously kicks Bonkers to the curb, leaving our bobcat hero to wander the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, down on his luck.
Somehow, someway, Bonkers lands a job with the Hollywood PD and is immediately paired up with the ill-tempered, toon-hating Detective Lucky Piquel (John Goodman; above, left).
Meanwhile, at another Hollywood Saturday Morning factory, we meet Jason Kentucky (Alan Cumming; above), a promising cartoonist frustrated with working on toy-based cartoons and being reined in by network executives and co-workers alike. Yet another source of frustration for Mr. Kentucky is no matter how much he rants about the industry as a whole, the shows he hates end up getting more positive reviews than his own creations. One night, as Kentucky toils away at the drawing board, his bottle of India ink spills. Instead of staining his clothes, the ink bonds with Kentucky's entire body a la Venom. This ink symbiote is later revealed to be yet another stage of Judge Doom/Baron Von Rotten's various reincarnations.
Together, Kentucky and the Doom symbiote form Prince Von Rotten, a cartoonish fiend hellbent on bringing the animation industry to its knees. Prince Von Rotten eventually becomes so villainous and so evil that even Chernabog is frightened of him.
On their first assignment together, Bonkers and Lucky are called to the Tower Records shop on the Sunset Strip, where a disturbance had been reported. Jem and the Holograms had come to Tower to perform a mini-concert and promote their new "reunion" album. Just when it appeared Bonkers and Lucky had Prince Von Rotten cornered, Von Rotten sics his attack dogs, Shnookums and Meat (Jason Marsden and Frank Welker), on Lucky. With Lucky distracted, Von Rotten escapes with Jerrica Benton (Samantha Newark) through a ventilation shaft and onto a waiting horse named Whitey the Bronco...
"...because apparently when Disney, of all people, is convinced that a dead horse is not dead enough, that's when you realize you've fucked up big time..."
- Doug Walker; quote from Disneycember: The Bonkers Movie (2012 YouTube video).
Convinced that Bonkers' cartoonish antics allowed Von Rotten to get away, Lucky scolds the Bobcat and literally kicks him to the curb. Much of the second act is devoted to depicting Lucky as a family man with a wife named Dilandra (Kelly Preston) and a daughter named Marilyn (Abigail Breslin). As Lucky contemplates taking a new job in Washington, DC to get away from Bonkers, he is visited by the ghost of Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins). Eddie, once a toon-hating cop himself, convinces Lucky to give Bonkers another chance.
Just as Lucky's change of heart takes effect, Bonkers has been reassigned to a new partner, Miranda Wright (Uma Thurman). Von Rotten struck again, this time, having snatched KTLA reporter April O'Neil (Drawn in 1987 series style; voiced by Renae Jacobs). Miranda and Bonkers follow Von Rotten through the tunnel to Toontown and back to live-action Los Angeles, where they track him down to the old Acme warehouse.
The warehouse had been largely abandoned since the events of the first Roger Rabbit. When Bonkers, Lucky and Miranda arrive, the warehouse had been condemned some years earlier, but most of the cartoon props still turn out to be perfectly useful. Inside, not only do they find April and Jerrica, but they also find countless other cartoon heroines fitted with Happy Helmet-like devices. Miranda and Lucky empty entire clips into Von Rotten, but he proves immune to bullets, be they cartoon or live-action. Von Rotten then smashes open what he thinks is a jar of Dip to try to dissolve Bonkers, but it turns out to be a jar of TCRI mutagen that gives Bonkers Hulk-like strength.
Bonkers tries various ACME noise making props to detach the Doom symbiote from Kentucky, but nothing seems to work...until he hears Ariel (Jodi Benson) randomly start to sing those familiar notes....
BONKERS:
"That's it! Keep singing, you're doing great!"
Once the symbiote finally detaches and slinks down a drain, Miranda and Lucky put the handcuffs on Kentucky. As our heroes parade Kentucky from the ACME warehouse to a waiting squad car, the villainous Kentucky is sarcastically serenaded by the toons singing "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile," in a call-back to the original Roger Rabbit.

I don't know whether to congratulate you, or to kiss you. This deserves to be hung up in a museum.
One gripe, though. Does The Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show still exist ITTL? Because, if not, I'd like to see why you went with that nomenclature in particular...
Shnookums and Meat appeared mostly on Raw Toonage in place of Marsupilami, which Eisner licensed ITTL for Hanna-Barbera.
