In 2017, Burr co-produced the film Christopher Robin, a live-action follow up to Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise.

From her company, she produced the 2019 Paramount Pictures film, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, based on Nickelodeon's animated series Dora the Explorer, as well as the upcoming Netflix film, Jingle Jangle. On January 29, 2020, Burr signed a deal with Lionsgate to produce films for the studio through Burr! Productions. The first film that she will produce following the deal will be MILK (Mother I’d Like To Kill), although there is no current release date attached.
