Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Beatles's third film, and definitely the weirdest.The film starts out as Mr. Richard Starkey, who is constantly bickering with his aunt, purchases a ticket to the titular mystery tour. Once on the tour bus... stuff happens, allegedly at the whim of "four or five magicians," and in the end everyone goes to a strip club.Basically, the Beatles and a bus full of other people drove around for two weeks, wrote the script on the way, filmed things on a whim and hoped something magical would happen. It didn't work. Legend has it that many of the incidents and complications that plagued the shoot were more interesting than the film itself.It was envisioned for theatres, but instead aired on BBC 1 on December 26, 1967. This hurt the film because that particular channel wasn't airing in colour yet. (Even if it had appeared on BBC 2, which was airing in colour, very few viewers owned colour sets.) It was especially bad for the "Flying" sequence, which was simply filmed abstract colour-shapes... So the project became their first flop, signalling all the events that would eventually lead to the band's break-up in 1970. As time went by Magical Mystery Tour has been re-appreciated as a charming time document with surreal comedy that was ahead of its time. Its Cult Soundtrack has been Vindicated by History too, for having some of the band's greatest hits, including "The Fool on the Hill", "I Am The Walrus" and the Title Track. The soundtrack album has its own entry.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Alice Allusion: The title of I Am The Walrus itself is an Alice Allusion to the Walrus and the Carpenter from Alice in Wonderland, making it an accidental Villain Song, because John Lennon wasn't aware that the walrus was the villain in the song.

As Himself: Rather an odd example. Ringo Starr plays himself, but the other three are just sort of there. Then all four of them appear as magicians.

Animal Motifs: The band members are dressed as a walrus and eggman during the performance of I Am The Walrus, in reference to the album cover of Magical Mystery Tour.
