Scottish publication The Scotsman asked director Mark Andrews on the notion of a sequel. Andrews said, "I don't know if there will be another one. We never make a film at Pixar to have a sequel. It is always nice when you do, and we kind of have a philosophy that if we find the right story then we will." During the Brave Press Event (held April 3–5, 2012), it was stated that 111,394 storyboards were created for the film, compared to 80,000 for Cars 2 and 92,854 for Toy Story 3.

While trying to sew the tapestry, Fergus goes into his room and finds Elinor's ripped clothes and broken bed when she'd turned into a bear. Fergus, believing Elinor has been murdered, bursts into the tapestry room to tell Merida the news and finds Merida and Bear Elinor. Elinor assumes the disposition of a bear and fights with Fergus, but recovers again and is overwhelmed by what she is becoming and the fear of harming Fergus and Merida after she inadvertently scratched her arm. Bear Elinor accidentally encounters the lords, who start going after her as she retreats from the castle.

Brave's logo include a stylized representation of Merida in the "B" and of Queen Elinor in the "E".
