This was picked as the more realistic alternative to Peter Jackson's other choice for a title, "Catfood Aliens". In the end the studio decided that people would much rather see a relevant social issue expressed through the lense of extraterrestrial life then lobster people gorging themselves on catfood. Luckily, if you watch closely, you can see both.
James Cameron did the first "Alien" movie, and now we see he also did the last. Cool sequel names like "Resurrection" and "3" had already been taken, and since Cameron wanted the name to reflect his subject matter he went with "Blue Ones". This is a new direction from the first four movies, which featured predominantly black aliens.
More than slicing people with swords and seeing blood splatter, Quentin Tarantino loves puns. What better way then to title his new movie, a revision of the history of World War 2, than to make it a pun on his first wildly popular movie, Pulp Fiction? MATM has to agree, this is very clever.
After rejecting the initial title, because you cant name a movie with just two letters, Disney and Pixar had an easy time coming up with a replacement. They asked, what is it about? A guy who is grumpy, and he travels to a forest. Presto, you have "Grump Forest", but because the folks are Pixar are sticklers for grammar they re-arranged the words so that they would be in alphabetical order, giving us the current title.
What happens when you take beautiful people, put them in uniforms, and script every word and movement? This. MATM loved every second of it, and knows that much like everything else, the real thing is probably much more boring.
