Shortly after Sergeant Pepper the Beatles made a TV movie Magical Mystery Tour which is even more deeply influenced by Hippy ideas than Sergeant Pepper was. The film plot develops around a Magic Bus (Ken Kesey’s Magic Bus was part of the basic folklore of Hippy philosophy), but by the time the Beatles made the White Album (follow up to Sergeant Pepper) they had already returned to using British Music Hall motifs and a satirical stance (eg in Back in the USSR). Both British Music Hall and satire were no part of Hippy culture (which was Utopian and down home American in origin).
