In 2006, she lent her voice to two animated films: The Ant Bully, and Charlotte's Web.

The first three were television films while the fourth, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, had a theatrical release in 2008. In 2014, Roberts provided narration for an episode of the documentary series Makers: Women Who Make America, and appeared in the film The Normal Heart.
