The Utopia Animation Editor is an unreleased program made by Microsoft to allow businesses to edit and compile their own Microsoft Actor character. It allows users to create new characters for Microsoft Bob and Office 97. The user can add animations to their character from static BMP or GIF frames; they can also add sounds to the animation or assign the state that triggers the animation. Utopia Animation Editor saves character definitions as UCH files and builds the finished characters as ACT files. it is not known how this software worked or if it's similar to ACE, as the program is not publicly available and is lost to this day.

Trivia

It was used to create almost every Microsoft Actor character.
