Robb was subsequently cast in two major 2005 films; playing Opal, the lead character in Because of Winn-Dixie, and Violet Beauregarde in director Tim Burton's remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. "Winn-Dixie" did fairly well at the domestic box office, grossing $32 million, but "Charlie" was a major box office success, grossing a total of $206 million and raising Robb's popularity among pre-teen audiences. She has also been a guest star on the cartoon show Danny Phantom, as the voice of Danielle "Danni" Fenton.

Robb's upcoming films include Bridge to Terabithia, a fantasy drama opening on February 16, 2007, playing the part of Leslie Burke and acting opposite Josh Hutcherson, The Reaping, a thriller scheduled for March 30, 2007, and the adventure Doubting Thomas.
