including two women speaking out to "the new york times" detailing how they were groped by trump. his lawyers are now demanding a retraction threatening to sue hs off with the latest. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. trump not only denies it, but he is demanding a retraction and threat tong sue "the times" fordefamaf for defamation and eg sue "the for defamation an for defamatioig sue "the times" for defamationg sue "the times" for defamatiog sue "the times" for defamatiog sue "the times" for defamatiotg sue "the times" for defamatioog sue "the times" for defamation and sue "the ti for defamation and liable. they're decades old but they're coming forward now because trump claimed at the debate on sunday he had never sexually assaulted women. >> he was like an octopus. it was like he had six arms. he was all over the place. >> reporter: jessica leeds told "the new york times" trump assaulted her more than three decades ago on a plane after she was upgraded to first class on a business trip. >> i sat down next to a young man, blond, tall and he introduced himself as donald trump. >> reporter: she told the paper the two exchanged pleasantries at first. she said he asked if she was married. she told him she was divorced. >> it wasn't until they cleared the meal that somehow or another

disappeared when all of a sudden his hands were all over me. he started encroaching on my space. if he had stuck with the upper part of the body, i might not have got than upset. it's when he started putting his hand up my skirt, and that was it. that was it. i -- i was out of there. i got my purse and i said, i'm going back to my seat in coach. i was so glad to get back to that seat. >> reporter: the trump campaign dismisses the allegations as fiction. for "the new york times" to launch a completely false, coordinated character assassination against mr. trump on a topic like this is dangerous. to reach back decades in an attempt to smear mr. trump, trivializes sexual assault, and it sets a new low for where the media is willing to go in its efforts to determine this election.

>> reporter: the story comes after trump's lewd comments to billy bush on the "access hollywood" bus in 2005. >> and when you're a star they let you do it. you can do anything. >> whatever you want. >> grab them by the [ bleep ]. you can do anything. >> reporter: at sunday's debate, trump excused that as locker room talk. >> frankly, you hear these things that are said and i was embarrassed by it but i have tremendous respect for women. >> have you ever done those things? >> and women have respect for me and i will tell you, no, i have not. >> reporter: but another woman rachel crooks an adviser at bowling green state university told "the times" that in 2005, when she was a 22-year-old secretary work, in trump tower, she met trump in the elevator one day, and introduced herself. she told the paper that when they shook hands he didn't let go. that he kissed her on the cheeks and then on the mouth. it was so inappropriate, she said, i was so upset that he thought i was so insignificant

clinton for president. neither of them filed formal complaints against trump at the time. both say they felt powerless to challenge him. >> during the late '60s, '70s and into the '80s, culture had instilled in us that somehow it was our fault. >> and you should know we we did ask the trump campaign to come on this morning. they chose not to but, david, the trump campaign now saying they are going to sue "the new york times". but "the times" not the only publication out there publishing accounts from his accusers. >> that's right. there is a succession of women, coming forward. "the palm beach post." there's a succession of beauty queens as well, and so far it's all she said/he said, no proof to back up the claims and trump denies them all. >> david wright, thanks very much. >> all right. they are both out there on the campaign trail as we know there are only 28 days until the election and it is heating up. abc's tom llamas is there in vero beach, florida, and, tom, trump is also making a big change to his campaign strategy this morning, isn't he?

morning. and you're riepgt -- right. there's a major development on the campaign trail.ght. there's a major development on the campaign trail. sources tell us that the campaign is pulling out of the battleground state of virginia and re-allocating resources to other battleground states like florida where we are this morning and this comes at a critical time for the campaign. as donald trump faces troubling headlines over his behavior with women, he's amping up his attacks on hillary clinton. >> she has to go to jail. >> reporter: the self-proclaimed "unshackled" trump sending feeding frenzy over those hacked e-mails. >> the wikileaks e-mails show that hillary clinton's staff even has to give her secret notes on when she needs to smile. smile, hillary. smile. >> reporter: and trump still talking about that last debate and this memorable moment when he hovered behind clinton on stage. >> believe me, the last space that i want to invade is her space.

nominee also still bashing gop leaders. furious with speaker, paul ryan, for not calling him after the debate. >> you'd think that they'd say great going, don. let's go. let's beat this crook. she is a crook. let's beat her. we got to stop it. no, he doesn't do that. that's a whole sinister deal going on. >> reporter: but the clinton campaign also facing their own distractions. >> the base is what i grew up in, and you know, i'm basically your standard redneck. >> reporter: former president bill clinton calling himself a redneck. critics saying he was labeling trump voters the same way. clinton denying it. >> it's a sociological term that a lot of us take a lot of pride in, including me. i'm not ashamed of it. >> reporter: now back to those wikileaks, clinton campaign chairman, john podesta, had his e-mail hacked. they were in those wikileaks

right now a tweet from his account that said, quote, i've switched teams. vote trump. the clinton campaign confirming that podesta's twitter handle has also been hacked. george. >> o tom. thanks. let's talk this with our political analysts, matthew dowd and cokie roberts. let's begin with accusers coming forward on trump 26 days to go right now. his team defiant, th these other publications out there as well, but there are a lot of denials now to make. >> it's a argument of he said/she said is accurate. he said he did it and they said they agreed with him actually and said, yes, he did do it and they testified to the truth of his statement in this. to me, this -- the problem for donald trump in this, is here's a guy that wants to protect our borders, but he has no problem violating people's personal boundaries. and most of these women that always come forward have nothing to gain other than telling the truth against somebody who has a classic case of intimidation.

questions, what does he have to gain to go scorched earth against the accusers? >> well, i think he has no other choice. and this is his modus operandi. he goes full force. he threatens to sue. that's what he does, but if we had not heard his voice saying, i just can't help myself, i start kissing these people, it might be different, but we've heard him say hear -- to have these women say that it happened is not exactly surprising. and the republican leadership, george, i mean, what were they thinking? as they allowed this to go forward. >> that's going to be a big question, matthew dowd. one thing you saw after the tape came out on friday, a lot of republicans disavowed trump. they start -- some start to come back to his camp on sunday after the debate but now his campaign is a downward spiral. you saw tom about there he's pulling out of the state of virginia. hillary clinton now ahead pretty clearly in states totaling more than 270 electoral votes.

knick going to be akin to tiger woods hitting the fire hydrant, and everything after this moment will be downhill on going to be hitting the fire hydrant, and everything after this moment will be downhill on this. his chances before this came out yesterday were slim to none. slim is packing his bags and leaving town and in this case, he has a very difficult window to win. i think it's almost impossible at this point with where the numbers are in this thing. the fat lady is warming her voice. she is on stage. she has been introduced and she is just about ready to sing. >> it could be an awful 3 1/2 weeks ahead for the american people and for us to watch what is likely the next three weeks. >> he does need to get the -- unshackled donald is not a good donald. shackled is probably better. >> that leads to the question next wednesday supposed to be the third debate. does he show? >> well, i think that's a real question. he's now got seven days he has to handle this. my expectation is this is not going to be the end of the story. this is just the beginning of the story. and what does he do? does he have to again say deny that in the course of the debate where 50 million people watch? they're in a difficult spot.

influence our election. >> we're going to see more of those laex leak leaksleaks as w. cokie roberts, matt dowd, thanks very much. as we said, next and final presidential debate scheduled for next wednesday right here on abc. i'll anchor our live coverage with our whole political team starting at 9:00 eastern. michael. >> thank you, george. the other huge headline is hurricane nicole. it's a category 4 storm and take a look at it from space. it's aiming right for bermuda and, talking and said the eye is big enough to cover the entire island of bermuda. >> that's how big. the island of bermuda, 22 miles across and look at this. you can see the eye approaching. if i'm waking up in bermuda and this is 60 miles south-southwest of me, i am frightened. because here's what's going to happen. i want to show you the pictures. already starting to see deteriorating conditions. the winds are kicking up. you can see storm surge 6 to 8 feet and rainfall 5 to 8 inches. that's without the wind. of course, just to give you perspective where bermuda is and where the storm is it's about 600 plus miles away from the north carolina coast and it's headed north-northeast. to good evening you perspective in relationship to the united

east-southeast of the north carolina coast. that track takes it away from the bermuda and into the atlantic, so it will not affect anyone after the next couple of hours. robin? >> thank you, ginger. take a look at south carolina. properties buried beneath feet of sand. look at the before and after photos. kitty hawk, north carolina, showing the devastation there. abc's phillip mena is on the grou good morning, phillip. >> reporter: robin, good morning. we are in the hardest hit neighborhood in the hardest hit town in north carolina. at least 20 dead and take a look. rescue crews are using these green tags making sure that everybody has gotten out just in time. this morning, the governor of north carolina urging thousands more to evacuate. telling residents the sky may be blue, but the danger from hurricane matthew far from over. >> everything is underwater. >> reporter: up to 18 inches of

the state. that rain plus runoff from the rivers now rushing toward the coast. >> try to get out as soon as we could. >> just, i think about the people that lost their lives. >> reporter: stretches of i-95 and i-40 remain closed to traffic. >> i was scared. i was petrified. i was thinking of my kids. >> reporter: david feldman was driving with his wife, barbara from florida to new york when they detoured through lumberton. >> i end up in the middle of this lake. i couldn't believe it. >> reporter: he escaped but his wife of 30 years, one of the many still missing in these murky waters. the estimated cost of the damage from the catastrophic flooding, $10 billion. >> this is farmland down here. this is absolutely devastating for -- >> reporter: and the flooding across the state continues. many rivers expected to crest this weekend. crews working to shore up dams. >> this water is deadly. >> reporter: entire neighborhoods underwater. some homes only reachable by boat. many left with nothing.

>> reporter: nearly 4,000 people in shelters this morning. others homeless or even living in their vehicles. george. >> such a tough situation, okay, phillip, thanks very much. we move on to breaking news overseas. a u.s. warship launched cruise missiles against rebel targets in yemen overnight retaliating for two missile attacks against an american ship and our chief global affairs correspondent, martha raddatz tracking the latest from washinon military intervention in that country's civil war. >> reporter: yes, it is, george. but also the first time in recent memory an american warship has itself been targeted by cruise missiles. the retaliation came swiftly. overnight a u.s. destroyer launched tomahawk missiles at three radar sites inside yemen, radar sites active earlier in the week when another destroyer, the "uss mason" was targeted twice by a yemeni rebel group

defensive countermeasures to protect the ship, but if it had been hit, george, it could have been catastrophic. robin and george? >> no question about that. >> thank you, martha. there are new concerns this morning about air bags that could be in some 8 million vehicles as federal regulators accuse an american company of stonewalling their investigation into a deadly car crash. abc's gio benitez has that story for us. >> reporter: this morning a search for some 8 million potentially exploding air bags on the road right now. the national highway traffic safety administration investigating several reported incidents of exploding air bags, including one that killed a woman in canada this summer. nhtsa says the company that manufactured those air bag, arc automotive out of tennessee, has failed to report crash info and test results as part of this investigation. the agency posting a letter they sent to the company last week raising serious questions regarding the quality and integrity of arc's air bag inflators.

didn't receive a response. since 2008, more than 100 million takata air bags were recalled worldwide after the japanese company's air bags were linked to multiple injuries and deaths. the air bags being investigated now are believed to be an older general motors fiat chrysler hyundai and kia cars. officials telling abc news whih specific models are affected but they say the incidents include a 2002 chrle a 2004 kia optima and a 2009 hyundai elantra. >> it's gm, hyundai, chrysler and kia who are ultimately responsible for the air bags they put in their cars. >> reporter: and the company, arc automotive, have not returned our calls for comments, but others are cooperating and voluntarily turned a lot of this information over, robin. no doubt, this is an important

to amy for the morning's other top headlines starting with breaking news in boston. >> two boston police officers are now in critical condition after they were shot while responding to a domestic dispute. witnesses report more than 30 gunshots. other officers rushed in killing the suspect. they say that suspect had an assault rifle and a bulletproof vest. breaking news from overseas. 21 schoolgirls kidnapped by islamic militants in nigeria have been freed after negotiations organized in part by the red cross. back in 2014, more than 270 of them were nearly 200 remain missing. well, the ceo of wells fargo has stepped down. members of congress demanded john stumpf resign after the bank was caught opening phony accounts without customers' permission and then charging fees. stumpf walks away with an estimated $134 million pay package. and finally a stunning debut for a young man playing his very first game in the national hockey league with his parents looking on. 19-year-old auston matthews

pictures of justin ross harris and his 22-month-old son, cooper, shortly before the boy died in the heat outside his father's atlanta office in this silver suv. in video from security cameras played in court, the father now charged with murdering his son is seen carrying the boy and shaking the restaurant manager's hand. nothing at all seems wrong. >> i just hey, good morning, guys and i said, who is this little guy and it was cooper so i waved to cooper and i said, hey, coop and just small pleasantries for 30 seconds and then after that i -- they went to sit down. >> reporter: after they left the restaurant, harris should have driven down the street five minutes to a day care to drop the boy off, but instead, he drove three minutes in the other direction to his office with the child still strapped in back. prosecutors say they don't understand how he could forget about his son so quickly. the boy died after more than seven hours in the suv on a hot summer day.

behind the hacks of the dnc, the e-mail account of hillary clinton's campaign chairman and now a contractor in florida that handles voter data. president putin was asked about this yesterday. what he said is that the hacking sl isn't in russia's interest, and calling it hysteria. the russian foreign minister went a step further and said, we don't deny it, but you haven't proven it. >> you know, alex. a lot of experts are saying, we haven't seen tension like this with russia since the cold car. how strained is our relationship with russia right now? >> michael, in a word, they are abysmal. without a doubt the lowest point since the cold war and now talk of a new one. russia and the u.s. on opposite sides of the war in syria where russia is threatening to shoot down u.s. aircraft and russia just scrapped a nuclear deal with the u.s., and then that meddling in the u.s. elections. what's scary in russia we're seeing the tv networks stirring up fears of a possible nuclear war. they just carried out a huge drill and moved missiles that can carry nuclear warheads.

you got that right. alex, thank you. >> thank you, alex. now to a major announcement from the world's largest travel site. you have seen the viral photos. people posing with zebras and selfies with kangaroos, tripadvisor says no more, banning ticket sales to attractions where there is close contact with certain animals. wildlife expert ron magill is joining us now. and ron, simple question. how big of a deal is this for them to ban this type of travel? >> it's a huge deal, michael, because what the helping distinguish between accredited facilities, zoos, credited by the aza and roadside attractions. to take pictures with animals, they are often pulled from their mothers when they're babies and hand raised. strictly to make a buck. it does not to benefit the animal. when an animal becomes an adult, it usually ends up in the wrong hands, either as a private pet, or god forbid on a hunting ranch someplace. >> a lot of people agree with you, ron.

things. do you think other travel sites will follow suit, ron? >> i'm hoping so. you know, the bottom line is, the fact that i'm speaking to you this morning is helping to educate people. i don't think people go to those attractions knowing they're doing damage by soliciting this type of experience but by you guys exposing us and showing us that they're being pulled from their mothers and used for all the wrong reasons hopefully that sends a sign, and when it hits them in the pocketbook, that will make the difference. >> is this dangerous also? it to animals like that. >> absolutely it is dangerous. so many incidences where people have been bitten, scratched, god forbid, something worse. it sends the wrong message. these are wild animals and never should be pulled from their mothers. there's an old saying that says, you take an animal out of the wild, you cannot take the wild out of the animal. >> it takes my breath away when i see people taking selfies. turning their backs to some of these animals. it makes no sense. >> we're in this society where social media, everybody wants to do something different. people have to get common sense back. >> that's right. >> i know people i don't turn my

thank you, ron. now to big news for abercrombie & fitch. we saw seth rogen and zac efron poke fun at the story's iconic male models in the comedy, "neighbors." remember this? >> abercrombie & fitch. >> how are you doing? we're a great team. >> thanks. >> you make the store more approachable. >> what does that mean? >> i -- it's like -- you make -- >> i'm a more obtainable goal. >> yeah. you're, like, the relaxed fit. >> the relaxed fit. >> any excuse to show that what's behind that. >> abercrombie & fitch wants you to think of them as the opposite of what we were thinking about them for many, many years. now they want to be known as the inclusive. not the exclusive retailer, but the authentic, happy, optimistic retailer, and if you take look

their new ads. that's the old one. now here's the new one. if you'll notice, the new has a lot more clothes on as well. >> do you think the shirt on strategy is going to help? >> after all they are a clothing company. so it does help to show the clothing in the commercials. i guess i would put it like this. if regina george in "mean girls" started to smile, would she be a nice girl all of a sudden? the reality now is that retailers, they have to be authentic and live up to those standard inclusive retailer, they have to be that 100% with who they hire, with the sizing and all of it. they say they are rolling out this entirely new thing and you will see new commercials from them. they have scrubbed their instagram account. that could help them, but -- >> scrubbed all the old -- >> instagram account, completely blank. >> why do you think they're doing this now? >> i think they doing it now because their sales have suffered, and it is a time where millennials and younger customers, they want the authentic experience.

experience and want the real thing. they don't necessarily -- i applaud that. i think that's great. people want the authentic real inclusive thing. >> i'll tell you right now since we can wear our shirts and do ads for them, we're throwing our names in the hats to be models for abercrombie & fitch. h how about that? ron, alex, thank you, as well. get the popcorn ready, everybody. all you "star wars" fans out there, the time has finally arrived and just two minutes we're giving you an exclusive first look at the new trailer for "rogue one: a star wars story." >> we really do have poprn upstairs. >> yes, we do and i'm going to eat it. >> i can smell it. >> i can smell it. going to eat it. >> i can smell it. no matter what you love, we'll help you style your home from floor to ceiling. now get up to $40 off our best paint via rebate and make your home happy,

"or something"? you don't just graduate from medical school, "or something." and we don't just pull smoked chicken, bake fresh foccacia and hand-slice avocado. there's nothing "or something" about it. with advil, you'll ask what twisted ankle? what muscle strain? advil makes pain a distant memory nothing works faster stronger or longer what pain?

help us keep it. ? audience warming up with some cold weather accessories. big savings just ahead but first more on the presidential race and how it's playing out online. we've all seen the tension reflected in our own facebook feeds. friends, relatives, even couples divided. and that anger could spill over into real life. one thing we can all agree on, this election is getting personal. >> i think she should be ashamed of herself. >> he lives in an alternative reality. >> reporter: the increasingly negative tone of the presidential election isn't just

arena but also among family and friends. >> my dad and i would basically get into huge rants. >> reporter: so far this year on facebook alone over 100 million people have been sharing their thoughts about the campaign frequently fueling animosity online. >> i almost have no filter. that's my problem. >> reporter: which is exactly what's happened between and her republican parents. >> i tend to get really upset and really i think sad more than anything. i really at this point couldn't disagree any more with my parents. >> you can't help when things are hurtful. i made her cry before but by saying different things. >> reporter: their family relationship getting increasingly rocky after both sides refused to dial down their political positions on social media saying things like, "you disgust me and i expected better," just a few examples of the comments that upset and enraged both sides. >> i warned him several times

angry. >> several times she's blocked me and after we patch and make things up and i promise not to post on her side again, but we do a little bit of finger pointing because i always say she posts on mine first. once you post on mine you're fair game. >> it's not surprising that families and friends are getting into feuds on social media. a lot of conversations that used to happen, say, around the dinner table are now being moved to online. people feel more comfortable talking online. >> reporter: to save their family, they've chosen to work through their differences so they're still on speaking terms and they've decided to no longer talk about the elephant or donkey in the room. >> when push comes to shove, we're still family. >> all right, so for more now, psychologist elizabeth lombardo is joining us. and, elizabeth, first, welcome. why do you think in your professional opinion so many are turning to social media to rant about this election? >> yes, so there's a lot of stress right now. right?

attacking each other. their character as opposed to the policies. that increases our stress as we watch that. we're also feeling more powerless. there's a study that just came out of chapman university that found that the number one fear in the u.s. is a corrupt government. so we're feeling powerless to try to address our stress, to try to have more control people are going to social media and exhibiting what i call conditional self-worth. conditional self-worth -- >> what is that? >> i believe in myself if -- i believe myself if i'm better than you so i'll put you down. i believe in myself if you agree with me and they're posting on social media to try to feel better about themselves to try to address their stress. >> do you think it's easier to type than talk? >> it is and you say different things when you're typing when you're not looking at someone face-to-face than you ever would if you were looking at them. >> i agree with that and believe there's anonymity that allows to you be bolder and sometimes meaner. >> yes. >> so what do you do if you're

kind of rant? >> the first thing to do is to ask yourself, you know, what's my motivation? what is my motivation here? if someone is attacking you, simply ignore it. don't engage with them. >> and don't engage at all and but if you have a point to make and you feel this sort of anger bubbling up, take a breath. >> so, you know, ask yourself your motivation. am i trying to put someone down or am i trying to share what i'm passionate about, okay, be civil, if you wouldn't say it in person, don't say it online. >> that's a simple rule. >> exactly. and, remember, you know, the more you engage with someone on facebook, the higher priority they are on your page, so don't engage. you can always unfriend. you can always mute on twitter until after the election. >> hard when it's your dad. >> maybe don't block your dad. i don't know. >> no, but this is real. we have a staffer who said his family is literally broken apart over this, that it's very divisive. >> it can be. >> so i think you're right, take a beat, be civil. very simple sage advice.

who are ranting and raving, it's their own attempt to feel better about themselves, so if you take a step back, you can gain a psychological perspective. >> thanks for coming in today. great advice. coming up, we have secrets behind the brand-new "star wars" and a big "deals & steals." ? something big i feel it happening out of my control ? d joint pain. just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and i was worried about joint damage. my doctor said joint pain from ra... that could only get worse. he prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for...

don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. joint pain and damage... can go side by side. ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. enbrel, the number one rheumatologist-prescribed biologic. take one of those pillows and take a big smell. they smell really fresh. what if we told you we washed these sheets 7 days ago. really no way downy? downy fabric conditioner. give us a week, and we'll change your bed forever.

>> well, i mean, on a technical level, you can fit more words per measure than any other art form. on a practical level hip-hop has always been about communication and it's always been about sort of telling the untold stories, telling stories of struggle, telling stories of resilience and so i mean that's why to me "hamilton" was a natural fit. this is was a guy who came from a brutal upbringing and wrote his way out. so that was the connection i made but, you know, it's know, it's always easier to remember something when we've got a hook to it. >> yeah. >> we still sing verb that's what's happening thanks to "schoolhouse rock." >> conjunction junction. >> conjunction junction. what's your function. >> yes, i'm a bill, i'm only a bill sitting here on capitol hill. >> thank you very much. thank you. >> robin.

in the making. >> well, thank you so much. it's thrilling to have, you know, it's an interesting behind bhybrid, because it is in one sense an old-fashioned disney musical but also an action movie with this amazing young woman at the center of it. just sort of kicking butt and taking names and sailing the ocean and -- >> what's it like writing for the rock, you know? >> awesome, awesome. it's -- >> the rock is fantastic. he plays maui, a demigod. >> i didn't know if he could sing so i went on youtube to sort of find any examples of the rock singing. what i found was this super cut of when he was a bad guy wrestler. there was a while where he did a heel turn and he would take out a guitar and taunt whatever town he was in maybe like -- ? can't wait to get out of chicago ? i don't know. that's his vocal range but you can give -- the fun thing about writing for the rock, he's so charming, you can give him gaston level arrogant lyrics and it's still charming.

in the movie where he's like you're welcome for existing and you're like, thank you. you are -- you are a delight. >> i wish you could have seen the two of us watching the film. just that very well -- we're looking at it. when he sang the song but you have so much going on. you have that and also the documentary. >> yeah, we have this documentary on the making of "hamilton" that comes out on pbs october 21st. the film is directed by alex horowitz who i actually went to college with and he started filming me before i even knew this was going to be a play so he has footage of me writing my shot in aaron burr's bedroom and he's got footage of me moving into our apartment like it's -- it's sort of the journey that we -- i took writing the show, the journey of "hamilton" and journey of "hamilton," the musical sort of all in one. >> he had a feeling. >> he said i don't know what this is going to be but it's going to be cool so can i start filming you and has footage of me just like -- >> inspiring writers, because,

great dick van dyke? >> it's the same position. i mean i'm playing the same position. it's a different character. this takes place about 20 years after the original "mary poppins" film took place, but i get to be around for the adventures with mary and the kids and, you know, sing and dance and do all the fun things. >> so, it's a new story? >> it's a new story, yeah. there are about eight "mary poppins" books, and so what the creative team has done has taken some of the adventures from those and michael and jane banks have grown up. with their kids. it's pretty cool. >> fascinating.
