Whatever Happened To The Childlike Empress From The NeverEnding Story?

In addition to dancing, choreographing, and acting, Tami Stronach has partnered with husband Greg Steinbruner to found the entertainment company Paper Canoe. The couple, along with other artists and musicians, aim to create high-quality television, films, and digital content that parents can watch together with their children. "I want to bring high aesthetic values to our productions because kids deserve that," the NeverEnding Story star, who played the Childlike Empress, explained in an interview with HuffPost. "That's how we make kids feel like adults. Put them in front of things that look and feel artful and virtuosic creatively, rather than cheap and corporate." There's definitely room in the market for content like that, as any parent can tell you.

Paper Canoe also strives to keep parents entertained with their material as well. "Kids can feel when parents check out and jump on their phones to do email during a story, and when the work is 'just for the kids' that's pretty tempting," she continued. "So all of Paper Canoe Productions have jokes and concepts that are directed towards an adult audience while entertaining and engaging children." That's really refreshing.
