Who is John C. Schulte?

John Christopher Schulte is an American writer, director, and producer of animation, toys and entertainment properties. Schulte's oeuvre is infused within many iconic intellectual properties of the 1980s, 1990s and on into the 21st-century. Working as a developer and writer, he served on the development team for the wildly popular "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," which became a multi-billion dollar franchise internationally and has enjoyed several resurgences since its original inception by the comic book duo, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.

He developed the short-lived but treasured original toy and animation property, B.C. Bikers, about a rogue band of "chrome age" dinosaurs who ride motorcycles through their prehistoric end times. He worked on interpolating the Troma feature film, "The Toxic Avenger" into an animated program for kids, called "Toxic Crusaders." Recently, he penned a script for an introductory animated series called "Gormiti": The Invincible Lords of Nature, based on the Italian toy phenomenon from Giochi Preziosi, which made its way to the United States via Playmates Toys, and debuted on Cartoon Network in 2009.
