How is it possible to get a remake done by deadline? How did the original have so much extra time padded into its schedule?

> Steve Jobs's rallying cry that we could in fact get it done by the deadline later that year

There interesting but here is that Jobs didn't know if his cry was true. But he needed it to be true, so it was. Jobs was a member of the "action-based community", not the "reality-based community" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community

They got it done by killing everyone, working multiple shifts, 24/7, no days off, etc. Some people left after it was over, due to burn out. Surviving TS2 was a test of Pixar's resilience that they passed, but at a cost.

Didn't they shut the whole company down for a period of time to give everyone a break after that push? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.
