Yeah. The name doesn’t matter. The content does. That’s why movies were made. 
I was starting to think that Pixar thinks filmgoers are too stupid to understand movie titles that are more than one word long. Then after thinking about it, I realized that the reason The Bear and the Bow was changed to “Brave” is that the former title sounds too much like The Princess and the Frog. You know, The One Thing and the Unrelated Thing format. And of course Pixar doesn’t want that. Especially since The Princess and the Frog is recent and was made by the company that owns Pixar.
On the other hand, maybe the one-word title is supposed to mean a lot, like maybe it’s Pixar way of saying, “We don’t need to say more than one word to get people to see our movies.” Like the one word is just there so that the movie can have a title, not because it is necessarily needed…because Pixar movies are so great that they don’t need titles for anything other than discussion purposes. Cars, Ratatouille, Wall-E, Up, Newt, Brave. All these projects that weren’t sequels, starting in 2006, were one-word titles.
Also, Cars was originally called Route 66, which I’m glad changed, because “Route 66 2” would be a terrible name for a movie.
I think I remember a poster from Scotland saying that they felt Brave better represented Scottish heritage. I don’t remember exactly how, but it was a well written post.
Nah, if the first one was originally called Route 66, then they’re gonna call the sequel “World Grand Prix” or something. “Route 66 2” doesn’t even make sense. A sequel/prequel doesn’t have to be named exactly like the original one, does it? At least Monsters University doesn’t 
I personally perfer the title Route 66. But finding a sequel name for that, especially one about an international race, is tricky.
Cars isn’t the greatest name for a movie 
But Cars 2 flows a lot better than Route 66 2 would have. I actually like the idea for the first Cars to be Route 66, but the whole sequel problems makes me happy it’s Cars
Princess Merida looks cool, by the way…
That she does!
I wanted to use her for my signature, but it’d spoil the movie for anyone else who hasn’t seen it…and I’ve started a trend! Yippee! Or revived a trend…I don’t know…
That’s extremely courteous of you!
Thank you…and poor me. The overquoting is just addictive… 
I guess I’m not too fond of the title. Brave is so generic and doesn’t mean anything. I don’t really like The Bear and the Bow either because it sounds kind of babyish.
Knowing more about the film, I think Brave is the better title. It’s a lot catchier and I think it sums up the film a bit better.
Well in my opinion, I thought changing the name to Brave was a good idea, for starters, the word brave is a very powerful and meaningful word, full of courage and honor. Perfect for the main character Merida, who is sure to go on dangerous adventures, which will take bravery to complete.
I like the title choice for Brave.
I think that the people at pixar know it better than anyone else…
I like them both. But I think Brave is better because it’s more catchy, because it’s one word…
What I don’t like is that they changed it in the german version to Merida. Just so they can pronounce it, that is what I call ridiculous
they had to re design everything…
I think the title “Brave” is a better title since it sums up the film alot better then “The Bear and the Bow.”
EXACTLY.
Brave sounds epic the other not so much. Plus little girls can leave the theater/cinema saying to themselves I’m brave too. 
I think Bear and the Bow was the better title. It says alot more about the characters, the mother-daughter relationship and feels enigmatic in a way.
