She unsuccessfully auditioned for the roles of Emily Callaway in Hide and Seek and Rosemary Telesco in Little Manhattan.

Robb appeared in two 2005 films; playing Opal, the lead character in Because of Winn-Dixie, a film which performed well at the domestic box office, grossing $32 million; and starring as Violet Beauregarde in director Tim Burton's remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was a major box office success, raising Robb's popularity among pre-teen audiences. The same year, Robb was the face of Trad Clothing, helping to design and model a fashion line for girls. In 2006, she had a guest role on the cartoon show Danny Phantom, as the voice of Danielle "Dani" Fenton.
